£60,000-£80,000 (doe)

2-3 days per week needed in the office (Central London)

Start ASAP

Sorry, sponsorship and fully remote working are NOT being offered.

You will manage the strategic direction of the project - not someone who needs to touch a wireframe or prototype at all. Fine if you have that background, but will not be part of your remit within this role.

Looking for someone who's great at managing stakeholders and tells a great story - not someone who has to rely on UX jargon (although you'll obviously need to be a User Experience expert still).

You will run the process and steer designers whilst communicating with clients who potentially know nothing about UX processes. The agency have a Head of UX who you'd report to but ultimately, he's going to expect you to take the lead with this project.

In this case, the client has asked for someone with a PhD in HCI (or at least very similar).

Massive bonus points for anyone who can speak German or Italian - but not essential. Same goes for previous agency experience.

Soft skills a major part to this one but you'll still need to have a deep, strategic understanding of UX processes and methodologies to create user-centric solutions that meet business objectives too.

If this sounds of interest to you then please get in touch with your CV, ASAP to stand the best chance of getting an interview.
