Job description

About The Role
Hippo Digital is recruiting for senior consultants in UX design. UX designers ensure that people using a service can do what they need to do, when they need to do it, in a way that is easy for them. Working with user researchers, they identify what users need from a service and use that information to inform their design decisions. Champions of user-centred design, they work with other Agile team members to test and iterate designs, and advise clients on how to get the best from interaction design.

As a senior consultant in UX design, you’ll already be an expert in your field. You’ll also be a leader of people and teams and advocate for user-centred design approaches. Hippo will provide exciting opportunities to share your expertise with, and influence, clients and team members, and to develop as a leader.

What you’ll do

  • Advise clients on how to solve complex problems using interaction design, people-centred design and Agile methodologies
  • Lead multidisciplinary Agile teams to design services that meet identified user needs
  • Advocate inclusive approaches and styles within UX design
  • Build supportive relationships with clients and stakeholders, yet challenge ideas and manage difficult conversations
  • Line management of UX designers and advise other colleagues on how to get the best from UX design
  • Support in recruitment, events, blog-writing and winning new business
  • Promote Hippo’s people-centred design offer both internally and externally

Skills and experience that you need

  • Advanced UX design skills, with experience of applying these across different environments
  • Experience of working in multidisciplinary Agile teams to design and deliver people-centred services
  • Experience of designing for diverse users, including those with accessibility or assisted digital needs
  • Proven experience of championing UX and service design approaches
  • Experience of line management or mentoring/training other UX designers
  • Advanced communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to manage conflict and convey difficult messages with tact and sensitivity
  • A good understanding of other Agile roles across design, product and tech
  • Strong consultancy and leadership skills, and confidence in exploring problem spaces with clients to determine the most appropriate way forward

What makes us great
As well as a competitive salary which we’re transparent about from the outset, you can also expect a range of benefits:

  • Contributory pension scheme (Hippo 6% with employee contributions of 2%)
  • 25 days holiday plus UK public holidays
  • Perkbox access for a wide range of discounts
  • Critical illness cover
