- Be highly skilled at task script development
- Have extensive experience of organising testing sessions, moderating, analysis and report writing
- Have managed people within a fast moving usability environment
- An good awareness of current web accessibility issues

Additionally, you must have an excellent command of English, the ability to work as part of a team and independently, and be permanently based in the UK.
