Relaunch - Designer

Relaunch@Capgemini Have you taken a career break of 18 months or more? Whether your break was for family, health, travel or another reason, we understand that returning to work can feel daunting.

Relaunch@Capgemini is a supportive six-month programme designed to help experienced professionals rebuild their confidence, refresh their existing skills and ease their transition back into the workplace. We are not looking for perfection. We are looking for potential. You do not need to meet every requirement listed below. If you have relevant previous experience, transferable skills and a willingness to learn.

The programme is designed for experienced professionals returning after a career break of between 18 months and 10 years. It includes a tailored learning and development plan, coaching and access to a community of fellow returners.

We are looking for a junior-to-mid-level Interaction Designer to join our Experience Design community.

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to design accessible, understandable and user-centred digital products and services. Much of our work supports complex government and enterprise transformation, including services for our clients. You will be supported to refresh your interaction design skills, become familiar with current design tools and ways of working, and gradually take on greater responsibility as your confidence and experience develop.

• Help explore and understand user needs, behaviours and journeys, working closely with user researchers and other design colleagues.
• Translate user needs, research evidence and user stories into clear, practical design ideas.
• Create user flows, interface concepts, sketches, wireframes and prototypes.
• Help design products and services that are inclusive, accessible and easy to understand.
• Test and iterate designs using feedback from users, colleagues and stakeholders.
• Clearly explain your design thinking and the evidence behind your decisions.
• Work collaboratively with user researchers, service designers, content designers, product managers, business analysts, developers and architects.
• Contribute to workshops and collaborative design sessions, initially with support where needed.
• Use an iterative approach to develop and improve designs throughout delivery.
• Contribute to the wider Experience Design community by sharing learning, participating in community activities and learning from other designers.
