Senior UX Designer
Squiz, New Zealand
Job Description
We celebrate diversity and unite on the elements of our company DNA, starting every customer conversation with why? to really understand their needs, working hard to find a way to overcome every challenge, and fighting for better outcomes with the work we do. We also check our egos at door, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and we have fun along the way.
We’re location-flexible! This role is open to all candidates across Australia and New Zealand.
Who we are:
Squiz helps complex, service-led organisations harness the power of digital, improving the services they offer online.
Founded in 1998, Squiz grew during the rise of the internet. Since then, we have evolved from a simple web content management system into a full digital experience platform (DXP), helping customers make the shift from being content managers to experience creators.
The Squiz DXP brings together content, search, data and applications in one place. To get the most out of the platform, customers can collaborate with our digital experts to design solutions and adapt as demands change.
We are headquartered in Australia, with teams and customers across the globe, and offices in New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom and Poland.
Right now, we are on a very exciting journey. We are transforming into a SaaS organisation, and we’re looking for great people to be a part of this reinvention.
Who you would be working with:
The Squiz creative services team helps clients succeed through user-centred, data-driven UX, UI, content and strategy. The Senior UX designer is a client-facing role working within and across development squads. You’ll be part of a terrific global creative and consulting team and will work with clients in Australia, New Zealand and beyond. You’ll have the freedom to propel your own projects, with the support of the project managers and collaborative colleagues.
Who you are: Squiz is for everyone, come as you are.
We are looking for an analytically minded, user-oriented and pragmatic UX superstar to work across a diverse set of clients in a broad range of industries, typically within very large and complex digital environments.
The role will span UX activities such as stakeholder engagement, analytics, discovery workshops, user research, content, IA design, journey mapping, wireframing (hi-fi UI design would be an added bonus!) prototyping and usability testing.
For this role, we ask that you can demonstrate:
- Significant experience leading UX-related activities on enterprise projects, including preparing and facilitating in-person or remote workshops, interviews and usability testing sessions, or undertaking IA design for large or complex systems.
- Strong written and verbal communication abilities to clearly tell the design story, articulate key findings, deliver recommendations, and write or audit content.
- Wireframing and rapid prototyping skills, using software like Figma or XD.
- Professional experience in an agency environment or in government, education or large corporations would be well regarded.
- Strong influencing and consulting experience.
What you would do:
- Lead a project’s UX activities from presales through to implementation.
- Conduct stakeholder engagement activities, and facilitate collaborative workshops with stakeholders, users and multidisciplinary teams
- Conduct user research activities including interviews, contextual inquiries and usability testing
- Analyse, interpret and report on research findings
- Design feasible, implementable and user-centred digital experiences
- Contribute to quotes and proposals, and scoping and selling of projects
- Educate clients and internal teams in UX best practice, methodologies and processes
