Offre d'emploi Interaction Designer - MI5 The Security Service - HEO

If you possess experience in delivering successful UX design outcomes across multiple initiatives, both independently and as part of a team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. Your portfolio will tell the story of your practical ability, showcasing prototypes and artefacts created using tools such as Sketch, Axure, Adobe XD, InVision Studio, or Figma. 

But technical skills alone aren’t enough. We’re looking for a collaborative, imaginative thinker who’s ready to challenge organisational norms and bring fresh ideas to the table. You’ll thrive if you’re comfortable working across the full product lifecycle and helping colleagues understand how digital technology is changing user behaviour, and the opportunities and challenges that brings.

Key strengths include:

• experience working in an agile, product-driven environment as part of a cross-functional team.

• understanding of user-centred design practices and how to embed them into agile workflows while delivering timely findings.

• excellent communication skills and confidence in explaining design decisions and complex information to a wider team.

Beyond these, the role also calls for independence and good judgement, knowing when to seek guidance, as well as the ability to help colleagues understand how technology is shaping user behaviour. You’ll contribute ideas that improve user experience across processes, policies, and even physical spaces.
