Interaction Designer

40 hours
Are you a creative, smart, experimental, curious, and result-driven interaction designer?

Who are you?

You are a creative, conscientious and professional crafts(wo)man. You show a strong passion for digital product design and have a number of beautiful projects supported by a strong process to show for it. Being curious and thoughtful you are focussed on quality, have an eye for improvement and won’t shy away from fruitful discussion. You find yourself most energised when presented with a challenge and get excited when you move projects towards practical realisation. Combining your expertise, a knack for guidance and the drive to explore a range of topics and ideas. As you collaborate closely with our clients, you are in a position to build thriving relationships. With excellent communication skills, you guide them throughout the design process and facilitate decision making, keeping their best interest in mind.

Expectations:

  • You have a passion for UX (duh) and are familiar with tools like Sketch, Figma, Principle & ProtoPie.
  • You love testing your ideas with the people for whom you design them for, you believe the cornerstone to a design process is a strong research foundation.
  • Because you know a good product can only be realised when the people are a team and the process is clear. Therefor you stay up to date with all project frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, etc.
  • You see yourself designing for a variety of contexts, from car selling platforms to multi—media service providers, learning about the world of the people using these products before the project has even started.
  • You are constantly learning and staying up to date on the latest UX trends.
  • If anything sparks joy for you, it is finding a good balance between user needs, business requirements and technological possibilities in close collaboration with our clients.
  • You are not shy in asking questions and voice your opinion to clients and colleagues about the requirements for a user story, or a design that has been created.
  • You crave feedback from peers and clients because you are always looking to improve the way you work.
  • Trying out new techniques and improving your workflow is something you do naturally.
  • You want to be a part of our Amsterdam team (and are able to work from there when corona is over)*.
  • You can speak and/or understand Dutch and English.

* Please note we are looking for people living in the Netherlands, able to travel to our clients and work from our Amsterdam office.

About your job

As an interaction designer you create and deliver high quality design for clients. You hone your skills and areas of expertise, while skill-fully guiding clients during the design process as their reliable primary contact for that project. You collaborate with others, either within Hike One or as a member of a client’s team.

If this is your first job

As a designer that is just starting out, you will work together with colleagues a lot. Your independence in your roles and projects grows with the experience and expertise you get. You will start out assisting other designers on a project, learning about design patterns, creating wireframes, communicating your designs to stakeholders, scrum, etc. This helps you build a strong foundation of design skills.

If you already have some experience

As you grow, you run more projects and discover multiple parts of the design process like research and facilitation. Slowly taking on more responsibilities in projects. You will grow into the role that fits you like a glove, which can be a deep dive in specialised topics like UX research, UX design, animation or more broadly like facilitation and design ops related roles.You might even start to pick up some internal roles to share knowledge or help organising weekendjes weg.

If you are an experienced designer

If you’ve already gained a lot of experience we might consider you for the roles where you have autonomy and the responsibility for the overall quality of our projects. You fill roles where you are the lead designer, shaping the design proces at our clients, or defining and improving the standard we have for UX design or other design related topics. Working independently without the need of assistance, but providing assistance to others. You are the designer inspiring and guiding both designers and clients to create the best products.
