Job Title:

Consultant - Experience Design - UX

Bring amazing daily. That's what we ask.

We're looking for makers, collaborators, individuals who breathe design; those who always want to make digital, brand, process, service or environmental experiences just a little bit richer. We’re looking for designers with empathy—someone who cares about listening to other people, understanding the human experience, and making things that matter.

At Slalom, Experience Design is stepping up its game at a global level and we want you to join us during this exciting time of growth. You’ll have the chance to shape the future of XD. Those that succeed here have an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset. They see the glass half full and take the world by storm as both as a self-starter and leader of initiatives.

Can you see yourself here? Our Chicago XD team focuses on:

  • Human-centered design - Research & analysis, service design, rapid prototyping & testing, design workshops & coaching
  • UX - Experience strategy, audience research & analysis, information architecture, design & interaction, audience validation & usability testing
  • Creative services - Executive presentations & training, branding & graphic design, conferences & events, video

Jump in. Here's a sample of what might happen on your first day:

  • Collaborating with clients and internal teams to design the overall user experience for a wide variety of digital experiences and applications, from desktop to mobile and whatever’s next—addressing things like interactions, information architecture and visual design.
  • Planning, conducting, and leading client white-boarding sessions, design sprints, design workshops, and project meetings.
  • Prototyping (ranging from low- to high-fidelity with interactions and visual design) solutions and iterating them based on user insight and client feedback.
  • Helping clients better understand their users – through structuring and conducting user research and evaluating usability of finished designs.
  • Advising clients of current UX/XD methodologies, while maintaining flexibility and adapting to their methods.
  • Working with development teams to refine scope and ensure proper implementation.
  • Collaborating with your XD teammates from design reviews to pitches for new work.
  • Bringing your own unique perspective to solving challenging problems.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of UX experience – taking ownership, driving understanding, and delivering solutions that exceed expectations
  • Expert-level proficiency with UX design-related software and tools (e.g. Adobe XD, Figma, Sketch, InVision, etc.)
  • Breadth of experience along the spectrum of UX design and ability to wear multiple hats
  • Portfolio of work samples that expresses your design work and original approaches to the challenges. Your portfolio should show your end-to-end design process, not just the final solution.
  • Experience creating personas and customer journey maps and other research deliverables
  • Develop, produce, and iterate wireframes, information architecture diagrams, clickable prototypes, UI guidelines and design assets
  • Consistent attention to detail in your work
  • Experience estimating UX project efforts and managing workload
  • Executive presence - outstanding communication, design thought leadership, presentation and storytelling skills
  • Strong interest in designing for emerging technologies, mobile UX, and an aptitude for learning new technologies
  • Ability to lead, passion for learning, and drive to grow
