Interaction Designer

n

As an Interaction Designer you will sit within the Design capability of The Docks Embark team. The Dock is Accenture’s flagship global innovation centre and research and development hub, based in Grand Canal Dock in Dublin 2 (when we aren’t working remotely). This is where Accenture, our clients, and our partners connect to pioneer new ways to fulfil human needs using emerging technology.

We are a tight-knit community of 250+ passionate individuals with all the benefits of working in a global company with boundless opportunities to learn and grow. In this lead role, you'll be part of an outstanding team of brilliant designers, engineers, analysts, researchers and technologists, working collaboratively under one roof to solve real-world challenges. Designers at The Dock are also a part of the global Fjord network, which means we are connected to an international system of design studios in 38 cities across 27 countries.

Over the last 18 months, some exciting and uncharted territories we’ve worked in include:

• Improving banking customers’ financial well-being and exploring experimental banking through behavioural insights (Dock Pod: The Financial Art of Experimental Banking);

• Researching the future home and how smart home technology can make our lives easier, safer, and better (Medium: Putting the human first in the future home);

• A partnership with The Australian Institute of Marine Science and The Ocean Agency to use AI, computer vision, and machine learning to transform how they monitor coral reefs (Medium: Project Coral-ation: Can AI help save the coral reefs?);

• And lots of other exciting projects that aren’t publicly available yet!

As an Interaction Designer, you'll work on defining concepts, strategies and digital interface to design artefacts at a project level. You'll have a strong appreciation for service and interaction design and technology, as well as the ability to elegantly adapt designs across devices; and you'll work across the entire end-to-end experience.

You are a strong visual communicator who creates artefacts to share insights with stakeholders, in order to support ideation and concept generation. You'll be comfortable collaborating closely with software engineers, data scientists and subject-matter experts to create digital products that utilise emerging technology in a responsible manner.

Ideally, you'll have experience with the creation and delivery of digital products and services, working in agile teams and transferring proofs of concept for industrialization.
