Cooper (www.cooper.com) is actively recruiting for Design Communication stars. Cooper consultants have helped companies of all sizes create hundreds of successful digital products and services. We work with clients large and small all over the world. Our projects include everything from complex financial, analytical and enterprise applications to medical devices, Web sites and car dashboards. In a single year, a Cooper designer might work on a securities trading application, an assisted surgery tool, and a revolutionary new phone.

What’s it like to work on a Cooper project? Every project involves a small team of world-class designers, most of whom are dedicated to single project at a time. An interaction designer is responsible for the visualization and coherence of the product’s behavior, while a design communicator is responsible for documenting the design and for helping test and evolve the design concept through scenarios. At the same time, a visual designer ensures that the color, icons, typography, and visual style of the interface support the interaction and the client’s brand.

If you’re the kind of person who helps others see more clearly, you might be a design communicator. We invented the design communicator role years ago because we understood that great product designs only succeed when they’re clearly communicated to the people who fund, build, and sell them. What we didn’t realize at the time was that having someone focused on clear and thorough communication also meant we had someone ensuring clear and thorough thinking.

Design communicators help our teams understand the right way to communicate research, requirements, and design to the right audience at the right time. To do that, they must know the design and the rationale behind it inside and out. Each design communicator works with an interaction designer as a full-time thought partner to interview users, develop personas, generate requirements, and create design solutions. Much of that work also includes collaboration with visual designers, engineers, and other team members.

While the interaction designer leads the creation of design solutions, the design communicator leads the evaluation of those solutions by synthesizing information, clarifying half-baked ideas, developing scenarios, and articulating the rationale behind the team’s decisions every step of the way.

Who makes a good design communicator? We’re looking for candidates with 4+ years of professional experience related to high-tech products and services. Right now, you may be a product or project manager, information architect, frustrated technical writer, user researcher, usability engineer—or a dilettante in a high-tech job who knows there must be a better way to design and develop products.

You’d be a good fit for Cooper if you:

• Have strong persuasive and technical writing skills
• Possess outstanding collaboration skills
• Often help people around you think more clearly and be more efficient
• Are good at synthesizing information
• Are an organized thinker and project planner
• Salivate at the thought of writing actionable user research documents and detailed design specifications that developers actually want to read

Cooper is a good fit if you:

• Enjoy a highly collaborative and supportive environment
• Prefer hands-on mentoring instead of being thrown in the deep end
• Are looking for the structure of a repeatable, successful design process
• Want to be part of a stable company that offers competitive compensation and values each employee
• Want to design products that work right.

Interested in learning more? Check out our full job description
(http://www.cooper.com/careers/) for more detailed information and
qualifications.

Qualified applicants should send a cover letter (stating why you want to work at Cooper), resume and appropriate urls/portfolio. Super interested? Put your skills to the test.
