Job Description

Project Overview 

CI Solutions is seeking an experienced Senior UX/Product Design Consultant to evaluate and improve the usability of an existing software product. 

The goal of this engagement is not simply a visual redesign. We are looking for someone who can understand how customers use the product today, identify usability problems and unnecessary complexity, and redesign key workflows so the application is easier to learn, navigate, and operate. 

The consultant will work with product, development, support, and other internal stakeholders and, where appropriate, observe or interview actual users. 

Scope of Work 

The consultant will: 

  • Review the existing application, workflows, navigation, terminology, and interface. 
  • Meet with internal stakeholders to understand common customer issues, support challenges, and business requirements. 
  • Conduct user interviews and/or usability sessions with representative users.

  • opportunities for simplification. 
  • Prioritize findings based on user impact and implementation effort. 
  • Develop improved information architecture and user flows. 
  • Create wireframes and interactive prototypes for priority workflows. 
  • Develop a modern, consistent UX/UI direction that can be extended throughout the product. 
  • Validate proposed designs through usability testing and stakeholder review. 
  • Work with the development team to ensure recommendations are practical to implement.

o Core components and interaction patterns

o Typography, spacing, forms, buttons, dialogs, tables, notifications, and 

other common interface elements

consistently 

5. Usability Validation 

o Testing of the proposed experience with representative users o Summary of findings

Definition of Success 

The project will be considered successful when CI Solutions has: 

  • A documented understanding of the major usability problems in the existing product. 
  • A validated redesign of the highest-priority user workflows. 
  • A consistent UX/UI framework that can be applied throughout the application. 
  • Designs and specifications sufficiently detailed for the development team to begin implementation.

  • Availability. 
  • Description of how user research and usability testing would be incorporated. 
  • Examples of final deliverables from comparable engagements, where possible. 

This is initially a project-based engagement. Successful completion may lead to additional UX/product design work as future needs arise.
