An awesome opportunity to work with a very UX-mature agency and highly skilled, friendly team. They even have their own labs!
The client
They’re quite small but will also use contractors when needed. However, the bulk of their internal team are made up of UX consultants and also Service Designers. Many have HCI backgrounds and all are enthusiastic about offering a premium and thorough service to their clients. Attention to detail, hard work and proper process are key for them.
This agency are also big on values and ethics. So they don’t do any work within sectors such as gambling, alcohol, defense, tobacco etc.
No one’s required in their London office for rest of this year (although the office is open for anyone who actually wants to go in – there are some who still do). Going forward, work will remain remote until things get better with Covid. Once things return to ‘normal’ there will still be a lot of flexibility for those that want it e.g. 2-3 days in office/2-3 days from home.
*sorry, sponsorship isn’t available however*
