Nomensa is a digital experience design agency, it’s what we excel at and it’s why we’re growing bigger and bigger.
When we started out in 2001 we were one of the first agencies to focus on UX. So what sets us apart from almost every other UX agency today? We’ve a lot of psychology degrees in our team and we use this understanding of human behaviour to inform our design process. One of our values is to focus on design for inclusivity; we are committed to delivering stunning solutions that are accessible from the ground up. We call it ‘humanising technology’. It doesn’t just sound good - it works. Going from three founders to more than 40 permanent staff, a stack of industry awards and a constantly growing list of enthused clients show just how well.
It all adds up to us needing to expand our UX design team (which already has more than 20 talented individuals in it). As a UX Senior Consultant you’ll be involved in pushing forward digital design strategy and researching, creating and communicating design solutions effectively to clients. You’ll lead and mentor in these areas and together with other senior staff you will develop our design research practice. Of course we expect you to be passionate about UX design and actively engaged with developments in the UX field.
You will be comfortable and competent planning and directing projects. In this capacity you will take responsibility for a small multidisciplinary design team, and own the quality of the methodology, the findings and the reporting they deliver. You’ll work with an experienced project leadership team comprising project manager and account director to help you do that.
We expect you to be fluent in contextual enquiry and lab-based research and evaluation techniques. You will create bespoke research programmes for clients (we don’t use cookie-cutter solutions). An understanding of the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of analytics is important and you need to be able to sketch concepts and architect information so that you can translate insight into preliminary and more structured design assets.
All the Nomensa UX design team are client facing, and contribute to communicating and selling the value of our skills and services. As a senior we will expect you to be proactive in this.
We cover the full development life cycle, from research to build and delivery across PC, tablet and handset device platforms, meaning you’ll often see your work realised. Plus, you can count on a broad range of projects that will exercise and grow your discovery, experience design and design evaluation & testing skills.
You need to be a confident communicator, as comfortable explaining the value of your work to a room of clients, as you are to the UX team. We create really innovative programmes to solve our clients challenges, and you will need to be able to creatively shape and work across a range UX research methods and tools You’ll already have agency - and possibly client side - experience, and know your way around basic design tools to support sketching concepts and wire-framing.
So what else is in it for you, apart from the challenge, the competitive salary and the benefits? You’ll be an important part of an upbeat, friendly environment built on a lively mix of research-driven insight, refreshing creativity and commercial drive. We’re also a world leader in accessibility and inclusive design - the type of experience you just won’t get anywhere else. And it all happens in a beautiful part of Bristol.
