What are the responsibilities and job description for the UX/UI Designer position at The Evolvers Group?
Title: UX/UI Designer - Communications
Work Location: St. Paul, MN (Hybrid)
Contract: 2 years
Note: Hybrid role.
Job description:
The UX/UI designer will join a small team of digital communicators in the design and production of a website implementation of the regional development guide—a new way of delivering policy plan content for this organization! We hope for the UX/UI designer to be particularly experienced with designing for content delivery because this product will deliver a lot of content. Also note that this work will already be in progress when the designer starts, and may require reworking some of what is already in progress, as well as enhancing existing executions with additional, more sophisticated features.
We hope for the UX/UI designer to help lead a light version of a UAT phase this summer, too. (We do not expect to have sophisticated tooling in place for this UAT effort.)
We hope to find a UX/UI designer who is flexible and accommodating, as this project has some non-standard elements that will require us to be nimble and creative.
Will require work samples that demonstrate UX and UI work.
Scope of Work:
Mobile experience for the Imagine 2050 website
Adjust existing design work to better navigate lengthy content
About Section Content
Interactive table experience
Home page wizard to help users find the content they are looking for quickly
Data feature on home page
Enhanced design of mega menu/mega footer treatment
How do we best integrate with related products
Future scope: design work for reporting on “measures”
Education: Associate degree minimum.
Required experience:
UX product/content design experience:
Create repeatable design patterns to help user understand how to navigate a content-heavy website
Experience designing for the delivery of long-form content types with many relationships to other long-form content types
Decent knowledge of content strategy principles, having worked in partnership with a content strategist or having performed as the IA for a product
Modern web design experience:
Designing for mobile responsiveness
Designing for accessibility
Understands and is able to utilize modern design frameworks, such as material design for Bootstrap or Tailwind
Content readability is really important for this specific scope.
Ability to create designs/extend designs/tweak designs of:
Website pages
Product designs (e.g. sorting/filtering for tables/reports, integration of data from external sources, etc.)
Iconography (can use icon packs, may need to tweak for appropriateness)
[Nice to have] Infographic design (would have source material to make visually more appealing and usable for web)
Uses Figma or XD for executing design work
Ability to facilitate conversations to get the requirements needed to execute. (We have a strategist for this work, but we would benefit from a content-savvy user-experience partner.)
Can do (and is willing to do) the production of the assets needed to develop the design
Flexible and adaptable
Can work expeditiously with good direction
Willing to ask good questions and challenge the direction, but also willing to let some things go in the name of getting a v1 done in a timely way
Desired skills and experience: Content strategy, information architecture, user acceptance testing
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply today.
