German Speaking Freelance UX Researcher

Freelance German Speaking UX Researcher

Are you interested in psychology, and research?

Well, I am working with a company in central London who specialises in the design and implementation of solutions based on new communication channels and digital media.

They are looking for a freelance senior UX Researcher who can speak, read and write German and English.

This is to start this week for 6 months and is remote, Inside IR35 for £400 a day PAYE.

I have 5 freelancers in with this company currently, and the feedback is very positive from them.

Your role as a UX researcher will be to deliver the best possible experience for the users of the website, making the website as straightforward to use as possible. As well as researching user behaviour and preference, you’ll also look at the content of websites and consider design elements such as colours and images.

This will be for a large Telecom client of theirs in their German office and also the UK office.

Responsibilities

As a UX researcher, you’ll need to:

• meet clients to gather information about their requirements and to find out what needs researching, designing or usability testing
• be involved in sketching, prototyping and on occasion user testing, before passing the design onto the development team
• understand qualitative research methods
• have an awareness of costs and budgets
• put users at the centre of a design to make it simple, easy to use and good looking
• be confident in your presentation skills in order to present the stages of the design development to business users
• work closely within a multidisciplinary team, including web developers and programmers
• have technical knowledge to be able to explain what needs doing, to programmers
• ensure websites comply with the law and equal opportunities policies.

What to expect

• The dress code tends to be relaxed and informal, with the focus instead being on creating work to the expected standard and delivering it on time.

Skills

You’ll need to have:

• a mixture of creative and technical skills
• excellent teamworking skills
• verbal communication skills, as you present your research findings and the reasons behind your design decisions
• strong written communication ability, as you may be involved in writing copy for the website
• creativity and innovation, to come up with new ideas
• enthusiasm for design and technology
• knowledge of coding, even if you’re not doing it yourself, such as an understanding of HTML, JavaScript and CSS
• the ability to use Adobe Creative Cloud, including Photoshop.

If this sounds like something along your skills, then drop me a note and let’s see how we can move forward together : )
