<p>EMC Conchango (EMC Consulting’s interactive agency) puts great importance on User Centric Design (UCD) – indeed we lead the agency field in the UK around this approach. When we solve design briefs and create compelling experiences, we combine the skills of a variety of disciplines to deliver something that is appropriate to the users and effective for the client. </p>
<p>Information Architects at EMC Conchango work with User Experience Consultants to define the user interface – how it is structured, the content it will present, its functionality and the interactions within it. </p>
<p>You will join a team of highly motivated and dynamic professionals. You will be exposed to a variety of the world’s leading brands. You will work in a vibrant studio and face to face with your clients. The work you create will be measurably successful for our clients and as a consequence, will make us recognised as the best in the field of digital design. </p>
<p>We started life in 1991. Since then, we have built an impressive list of blue chips clients including M&S, Tesco, HMV, Lloyds TSB, Barclays, Virgin Mobile and Virgin Atlantic to name a few. </p>
<p>We provide our clients with competitive advantage by helping them improve business results. We achieve this by combining great thinking, imagination and creativity and outstanding technical capability. </p>
<p>As an Information Architect you will be required to:</p>
<p>Create conceptual diagrams to illustrate the outputs of planning and user experience design </p>
<p>Design and maintain site maps, interaction flows, storyboards and page/screen schematics/wireframes</p>
<p>Develop comprehensive content taxonomies, including establishing intuitive hierarchies and categorisations</p>
<p>Scope or factor in non displayed information e.g. metadata, whether created by the business or by users</p>
<p>Maintain detailed functional specifications</p>
<p>Creation of prototypes, appropriate to each stage of the design process</p>
<p>Contribute to user testing – definition (selection via screeners, questionnaires, scripts) and interpretation (reporting)</p>
<p>Work in close collaboration with the Insight team, User Experience Architects, visual designers, interface developers, technical developers and project managers</p>
