Interaction Designer

In this role, I will expect you to provide design guidance and hands-on interaction design for complex projects and portfolios of work within an agile development framework. You will need to use best practices and standards consistent with the rest of government. Additionally, you will advise and support software engineers in the development of designs and iterate on patterns and components. You will work closely with service designers to gather and interpret evidence from service design walkthroughs and analyses, using this insight to design solutions and communicate well-reasoned rationale to stakeholders. Collaboration with user researchers to provide appropriate designs and prototypes is essential, including attending user research sessions, discussing findings, and using evidence to inform interaction designs. I will count on you to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team by planning and running design sessions, supporting workshops, and communicating design decisions to your team and internal business stakeholders. You will ensure that the design work aligns with the vision and goals of the team, identifying risks and uncovering opportunities for improvement. Additionally, you will oversee and maintain consistency of patterns and components used across projects in collaboration with the Senior Interaction Designer. Finally, you will tackle complex design challenges by balancing user needs, business objectives, policy constraints, and technical feasibility, applying critical thinking and design expertise to evaluate competing priorities.
