The function
“Ease of use is invisible, but its absence sure isn’t”
Do you use your creativity to solve a problem? Then the role as UX-consultant at ALTEN might be something for you! The UX concept is incredibly broad. For example, your focus can be on a piece of preliminary research, or perhaps visual design, implementation or testing of a product.
At ALTEN you take on the challenge within different projects. One day you may interview end users about the bottlenecks related to a product or service. You process and analyse the input from these into a feature that requires development and design. You divide this into tasks such as wireframing, prototyping and visual design. The next day you are somewhere observing and giving a presentation about your product concept or facilitating a workshop to concretise the vision of a customer.
