The Role

  • Quality Assurance: Maintain high-quality design standards throughout the project lifecycle and ensure they are implemented accordingly.
  • Reporting & Communication: Provide regular progress reports to clients, keeping them informed and gathering feedback throughout the design process.

Design-specific responsibilities

  • Design Execution: Design user interfaces (UI) that are visually appealing, user-friendly, and align with brand guidelines.
  • Design Efficiency: Work efficiently to meet project deadlines while maintaining high design quality.
  • Design Maintainability & Scalability: Ensure designs are well-documented, follow established design systems, and can be easily adapted to future website iterations.
  • Wireframing & Prototyping: Create clear, well-organized wireframes and interactive prototypes that effectively communicate design concepts and facilitate user testing.
  • Usability Testing Success: Successfully conduct usability testing and iterate on designs to achieve usability goals.
  • Information Architecture Effectiveness: Develop and implement effective information architecture that enhances user navigation and findability on websites.
