Senior Design Researcher

Senior Design Researcher - Up to £50,000 - London

Exciting opportunity for an experienced consultant with design research capabilities.

A boutique service design agency based in London. Warm, family-feel to the agency and chance to work on a range of interesting client accounts.

As an experienced consultant with design research capabilities, you'll be driving and supporting the delivery of outstanding human-centred insight and design work. This role will have a strong focus on leading research and insight work, so a background in this is important.

More specifically you'll be:-

- playing a key role in designing and delivering projects for clients who are based in the UK and internationally
- applying your practitioner skills on exciting challenges across industries, either leading the project or working in support.
- working in multidisciplinary teams to plan and execute research across all stages of the design process.
- working directly with stakeholders, involving them openly in your processes, helping them distil project goals and objectives into project requirements and championing the needs of customers throughout the project.
- producing high-quality deliverables that translate research findings into compelling and actionable insights.
- championing human-centred design, design thinking, and innovation.

This is a varied role within a small team and will suit an enthusiastic, hardworking person with keen attention to detail.

Broadly speaking we're looking for someone who is a dynamic individual, with a few years experience working in Design Research or Service Design, across the design process; from initial research, through to strategy, design workshops, and design deliverables, with the confidence to report back to stakeholders at all levels of seniority.

More specifically we're keen to hear from people with the following:-

- previous experience working in a variety of sectors with a digital focus. Ideally some or all of this time will have been spent in an agency environment
- solid experience of running kick off calls, writing recruitment screeners, creating discussion guides and other research assets.
- familiarity and experience in a wide range of qual and quant approaches, with an understanding of how best to utilise these (individually, as well as in tandem) to address the client's objectives.
- high standard of report writing, making it easier for clients to connect the dots with clear communication and actionable recommendations.
- inspiring co-workers and sharing knowledge and skills with the team, recognising potential in the latest technology and other trends.
- advanced use of modern UX tools and platforms such as Sketch, Invision and Adobe Creative Suite.
