About the position
Fulcrum Consulting, an LRS company is seeking a UX/UI Designer with our client in St. Paul, MN. The UX/UI designer will join a small team of digital communicators in the design and production of a website implementation of the regional development guide-a new way of delivering policy plan content for this organization! We hope for the UX/UI designer to be particularly experienced with designing for content delivery because this product will deliver a lot of content. Also note that this work will already be in progress when the designer starts and may require reworking some of what is already in progress, as well as enhancing existing executions with additional, more sophisticated features. We hope for the UX/UI designer to help lead a light version of a UAT phase this summer, too. (We do not expect to have sophisticated tooling in place for this UAT effort.) We hope to find a UX/UI designer who is flexible and accommodating, as this project has some non-standard elements that will require us to be nimble and creative. Will require work samples that demonstrate UX and UI work.
