Your responsibilities:
You empathise with the customer's context by asking them the right questions.
Together with the various stakeholders of a UX project, you define a clear scope (what is the challenge, on which target group is the focus...)
You are curious and empathic, always looking for the end user's needs and context. You fill in this curiosity by talking to end users and performing other forms of qualitative research.
From your knowledge of the digital landscape, you look at which opportunities are useful and meaningful for our customers and inspire them about the possibilities.
Together with the customer, you think about which solutions best fit the needs of their own business and those of the end user.
You work out information architectures and visualise them in low fidelity wireframes, tree structures ...
You work out a set of high-level requirements that are later deepened together with functional and technical analysts.
Together with the UI designers, you work out the high-fidelity prototypes (designs) in order to make the concepts as tangible as possible for everyone.
You validate concepts with user testing, tree testing or other ways of validation.
You work from one of our offices (Ghent, Antwerp) and, if you wish, partly from home.
