As a Design Communicator you will play a lead role in helping to design future applications at our client, an Applications Service Provider focused on the Financial Services Sector.. You will be responsible for leading the communication of product form and behavior. In collaboration with your interaction designer partner, you will conduct stakeholder and user interviews and observations; define personas, scenarios, and requirements; develop interaction frameworks; and see the design all the way through to detailed pixel specifications. You will have primary responsibility for all design documentation, and for testing the design through scenarios, looking for inconsistencies, missing elements, and poorly articulated reasoning. The applications you design must also move the user toward his or her goals, as opposed to, just focusing on the user?s tasks.
Empathy
Design communicators are insatiably curious about how other people work, live, and think. They enjoy meeting potential users of a product, and they think about design by visualizing themselves as the people who will use it.
Mental agility and persistence
DCs work at multiple levels, from high-level concept to nitty-gritty detail. At every level, DCs need to be able to clarify design ideas, extract the real meaning from a conversation, and capture decisions and issues in a way that serves both the design team and the business.
Excellent Technical and Persuasive Writing Skills
The audience for design documentation ranges from developers and QA teams to top-level executives. Our documents must efficiently and accurately communicate design details, while also providing the persuasion and professional look that inspires confidence in our work.
DCs must enjoy writing and be able to generate large volumes of prose in a short period of time.
Outstanding Collaboration Skills
DCs must be skilled at drawing out ideas, clarifying them, and helping their colleagues synthesize information. DCs have the ability to extract the real meaning from a conversation. A DC moves meetings forward at the right pace, maintains focus on important issues, captures open issues and decisions, and drives toward consensus.
Strong Organizational Skills
As the keeper of the narrative of the design, a DC must be able to organize concepts and details in the manner that best facilitates understanding. In composing documents, DCs act as information designers, and so must have a keen ability to present a variety of information in the most appropriate way. Also, DCs act as day-to-day project managers.
