JOB OPPORTUNITY
Intermediate - Senior Consultant
--------------------------------------------------------------------

nForm User Experience Consulting is a leading Canadian UX firm. We are
experiencing rapid growth, and have an immediate opportunity for an
intermediate or senior consultant. This is a full-time position, located in
Edmonton, Alberta. No relocation assistance is available.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
SALARY & BENEFITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Competitive salary based on experience, plus benefits.

We will review salary in 6 months, and then annually. Raises and optional
bonuses based on billings, skill development, and achieving career
objectives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU'LL DO AT NFORM
--------------------------------------------------------------------

All our consultants are involved in research, design, and evaluation
activities. Excellent interpersonal skills are required for client-facing
engagements.

We expect you to take a leadership role on client engagements, interacting
directly with clients and partners to deliver outstanding service and
results.

You should be able to show us deliverables relating to core user experience
and consulting activities, such as:

    * Business Discovery: interviews with internal stakeholders,
requirements analysis, metrics.
    * User Research: task analysis, user profiles, conceptual models.
    * Content Work: content analysis and modeling, site architecture,
categorization schemes, metadata.
    * Interaction+Interface Design: functional specifications, interaction
flows, scenarios, use cases, wireframes, user interface specifications.
    * Evaluation: usability evaluation and usability testing, reporting and
recommendations.
    * General Web Experience - RSS, blogging, content management, CSS, XHTML
(this is important, but secondary to user experience skills).

Comfort presenting to groups, facilitating and leading meetings, and
excellent communication skills in both writing and speaking are important to
your success in creating long-term client value.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR CONSULTANT?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides having more overall experience, Senior Consultants are responsible
for Project Management, Account Management, and Business Development. Senior
consultants also contribute to our internal methods and ongoing practice
development.
What's in it for You?

More than a salary, nForm offers the opportunity to work in a dedicated user
experience firm. If you've been hoping to progress in your career as an
information architect, interaction designer, user interface designer, or
usability analyst, we've got opportunities to build that career. We're
dedicated to solving user experience problems to improve our clients' bottom
line, reduce user frustration, and increase shared value between business
and customers.

We will dedicate some of your time to professional development activities,
such as writing articles, blogging, presenting at conferences, etc. We want
to hear your big thoughts - ideas that start on our whiteboard can end up
becoming global discussions.
