-----------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,

Step Two Designs is recognised as a leading usability/IA
consulting firm in Australia, with a unique focus on intranet
design and management. Our articles and reports are very widely
read, and our team participates in conferences and workshops globally.

Our business is growing rapidly, and we are therefore looking
to appoint another full-time senior usability/IA consultant. This
role would be involved in a range of interesting and innovative
projects, covering:

* field-based user research
* development of strategic and tactical recommendations
* application of IA techniques to large, information-rich sites
* design of effective page layouts
* validation of designs through usability testing

We are looking for experienced consultants able to take on this
senior role. This role would be located in either our SYDNEY
or CANBERRA offices.

You must have demonstrated industry experience as a
consultant conducting the work outlined above, as well as the
ability to be self-reliant in your daily activities.

All our consultants have the opportunity to publish articles,
develop reports and present training courses. For this reason,
strong writing and communication skills are vital, along with
a desire to explore and innovate the fields of usability, IA
and design.

Specific skills required:

* usability (expert)
* information architecture (expert)
* interface design (strong)
* communication and writing (strong)
* interpersonal skills, within our team and with clients
* experience with information-rich sites such as intranets
* exposure to coaching or mentoring techniques (desirable)

Our focus as a business is on innovating the fields of usability
and IA, as well as the ways in which we provide our services. There
is no other firm within Australia that is conducting such a broad
mix of consulting, training and report writing. Through an
emphasis on mentoring and coaching our clients, we provide a
uniquely stimulating and engaging working environment for our whole team.

Note: applicants must currently hold permanent resident status
(or equivalent) in Australia or New Zealand. We are also not
looking to engage consultants in sub-contracting relationships,
or other non-permanent positions.

fax contact will not be accepted)
