UI/UX Strategist
The Opportunity:
Are you searching for a role that is mission-driven and focused on digital transformation? Are you looking to transform the way a user interacts with mission-critical applications? You know that a good software tool is more than just the code, infrastructure, and a nice-looking interface—it’s the way it addresses a user’s needs. As a UX strategist, you apply a design-thinking approach to put yourself in the user’s position to understand the best ways they can engage with data differently to improve their day-to-day operations. We’re looking for someone creative like you to help our clients transform user experiences.
In this role, you’ll collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, software engineers, and product managers to understand your clients’ vision and their users’ needs. Working on an Agile team, you’ll act as a user challenge discoverer and storyteller, helping to translate research into actionable user insights to drive new ways to visualize and engage with data. You’ll lead the full spectrum of the digital creative process, including information architecture, rapid prototyping, interface design, usability testing, and product implementation and development. Your experience with usability design and testing, and product implementation and development will help you advocate for the prioritization of design-centered changes, refinements, and improvements while keeping the end-user at the center of your work. You will work with analysts and stakeholders to understand what they do or do not like with existing implementations, how to support current and future analytic tradecraft, and begin designing and producing mockups that incorporate their feedback, accessibility requirements to improve end-user experience, standardize the look and feel, and modernize capabilities. Are you ready to help our clients transform the way they execute their mission to apply a modern approach to data and software in support of national security?
