iO Associates are aligned with a Central Government client to recruit a Senior Interaction Designer to help shape and deliver accessible, user-centred digital services.

You will bring real depth in interaction design and be comfortable working across the wider experience (not just designing screens). You’ll lead design through discovery, alpha and delivery, translating complex user and business needs into clear, usable interaction journeys.

Key responsibilities:

• Leading interaction design across discovery, alpha and delivery phases
• Translating complex needs into user-centred flows, interaction models and service journeys
• Producing wireframes, prototypes, patterns and design assets to support evidence-based decisions
• Facilitating workshops and working directly with users/customers and stakeholders
• Collaborating day-to-day with user research, service design, content design and engineering teams
• Supporting delivery teams to ensure solutions are accessible, usable and buildable

Key requirements:

• Strong interaction design capability with clear examples of end-to-end work (not just UI)
• Confident working directly with customers/users and senior stakeholders
• Comfortable facilitating workshops and co-design sessions
• Proven collaboration with development teams in agile delivery environments
• Strong interest in the wider experience including service and content design
• Experience designing accessible services (WCAG / inclusive design principles)

Desired:

• Design system contribution (patterns, guidance, reusable components)
• Portfolio demonstrating problem framing, decision rationale and outcomes
