[Full-time] User experience design consultant at Flow Interactive South Africa

2012-02-03 08:48:15

Location: Cape Town
URL: http://www.userexperience.co.za

Description:

A passion for UX design? Here’s your dream job.

We’re looking for people to come join us for UX design, variety, challenge, giggles, geek outs, bake-offs, blood-sweat-toil-and-tears, growth, and a permanent change of perspective on what it means to make something good. You’re a BA, a designer or a developer. But admit it: Your heart is in user experience design.And you’re not getting a chance to do enough of it.

We do it all the time. Nothing but. IA, ethnography, interaction design, usability testing. And there are few companies in South Africa who can claim that. It puts us very much in demand with intriguing start-ups, and prestigious corporations.

All we need from you:

Ideas:

Do you know how to have them – even the ones that sound preposterous at first? Can you look after them, help them grow and change? And finally let go of the ones that turn out to be wrong?

Thinking things through

Can you work through complex user journeys? Wrangle piles of information into a sensible order? Work out what happens over there if you change this little bit over here?

Communication.

Can you persuade people to tell you things and show you things about what they do and what they need? And communicate what you’ve come up with in a way that your clients and colleagues can easily buy into?

Design.

And can you put it all back into an interface design that people can understand first time? And enjoy using every day? That’s as simple as possible and no simpler? Using the right tools for the job?

You can? Well, we can offer:

More variety, challenge and learning than you can shake a stick at.
A happy place to work, with people who like the things you like.
Quite a lot of money. Possibly more than you’re getting paid in that agency job of yours.

So, when you hear the beep, please climb out of your comfort zone and come join Flow. It’s really not like other companies. Much less repetitive. Much more engaging.

To apply:

Send me something entertaining that shows me quickly that you can do most of the stuff above.
