Ready for a new challenge?

Atomix is looking for an experienced user experience and service designer to join our growing team in Adelaide, South Australia.

We value positive, productive relationships above all else, and pride ourselves on partnering with organisations and people that want to create meaningful outcomes for their customers and community. We use human-centred approaches to innovation to solve complex business challenges, and are driven by the pursuit of constant progress and possibility.

We’re working on exciting digital transformation projects, designing new and improved digital services for a wide range of users. Our clients are as passionate as we are and it’s our job to help them implement technology and change in a human-centred way, grounded in the needs of their customers and employees. At the heart of our work are people and insights – understanding people’s behaviour, needs

About the role

We’re looking for 2 designers to join our team of researchers, strategists, designers, developers and changemakers. You’ll work as part of our successful and established human-centred design consultancy team, and contribute to digital innovation in South Australia.

Human-centred design is a broad framework and our strategy and design team at Atomix include a range of research, design, facilitation, project management and stakeholder engagement skills. We don’t believe in design unicorns but we believe in bringing together people with diverse sets of skills and experience that complement each other. So while experience with a broad skill set of human-centred design methodologies is important, we don’t expect you to be a superstar with all of them.

In the role, you could be planning, scoping, preparing and conducting quantitative and qualitative research with customers. You could be designing and facilitating workshops and other design collaboration methods. You could be head down in analysing business and customer data, creating user journeys, rapidly prototyping and iterating on solutions, or zooming out to the bigger picture writing strategy and flexing your communication design skills with stakeholders. It really depends on you and where you see your strengths fit within the multidisciplinary team of designers and subject matter experts across our project portfolio.

About you

You care about your projects and you’re looking to work with a team making a positive difference in people’s lives.

This is reflected in your natural curiosity and respect for human behaviour and diversity. You’re excited by asking the ‘Why?’ and embrace the challenge of solving problems creatively and collaboratively. While you’re good at self-managing and working on your own, you take ownership in leading the creative process and inspiring fellow team members. You’re the relentless advocate for the customer and passionate about human-centred design. You can comfortably shift between practitioner, mentor and teacher to help others grow their skillset.

Qualities of our ideal candidate

• 3+ years experience in a role that is integral to the design process, for example, Service Design, Customer/User Research, User Experience Design, Interaction Design etc.
• Sound knowledge and experience applying human-centred design and innovation methodologies to solve problems and transform customer experiences (with case studies you can share)
• Experience planning and carrying out research throughout the design process, including analyses and synthesis of findings, insight development and communication to team and stakeholders.
• Comfortable communicating design including outputs such as customer journey maps, service blueprints, user journeys and prototypes.
• Previous experience working within an in-house enterprise or government design and delivery team or in an agency / consulting environment, integrating the design process into agile teams.
• Developed emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage, motivate and help multiple teams and clients in their deliveries.
• A strategic thinker, comfortable evolving complexity and ambiguity into effective (and pragmatic) solutions and communicating it with compelling stories with stakeholders.

Don’t worry if you don’t quite meet all of the above. If you’re passionate about design and digital tech, keen to grow and really care about designing meaningful experiences, then let’s start a conversation.

What’s in it for you?

Apart from the great opportunity to work on amazing projects, Atomix invests in its people and champions the pursuit of life-long-learning. However you want to grow – we’ll be there to support your professional development through formal training and mentoring. We are also advocates for having and maintaining a work life balance and offer a flexible work environment, with the opportunity to work from our positively charged health and wellbeing biophilic office in North Adelaide or remotely from home.

How to apply

If you’re thinking of applying for this job, please send us your resume and a cover letter answering the following questions (only needs to be a few lines on each, we’re not expecting a novel):

• What excites you, drives and motivates you? On the other hand what bothers you/ keeps you awake at night?
• Describe a time you’ve used data to drive a decision. What was your process and what was the outcome?
• Tell us about a difficult conversation or conflict you’ve mediated and resolved.
• An interesting observation or learning in applying your HCD/ innovation skills – for example, something you’re really really good at (or not so good at), something that has worked for you really well (or not worked) and what you’ve learnt from it. Be open (we are) and take us on a journey to get to know you – how you think, your approach and experiences to life and work as a designer.
