(Anywhere)

I'm an information architect that owns a small consultancy based in NYC. I'm currently overworked and have more projects coming along in the near future and need to build up a network of talent to help me when needed.

Work can be done remotely although my preference would be for local freelance talent. You must be comfortable using online project management software as this will be the predominant way that we stay in touch and on top of projects. Skype or Goto Meeting will be used primarily for direct contact.

I am looking for two types of IAs:

• Someone that is very junior and wants to learn and grow. You know how to use Omnigraffle, my software of choice, and need more experience. For this type of IA I would start you off assigning you edits to current projects till I feel comfortable giving you more responsibility.
• Someone who is a senior level IA and that I can trust to take a leading role on projects that I assign to you. This sort of person must have a strong representative portfolio.

Must Haves include:

• Experience with wire framing
• Experience with Omnigraffle
• The ability to tackle multiple tasks
• The ability to pay attention to details
• An understanding of the limitations of the web (i.e. you don't come up with crazy stuff that can not be easily implemented)

Pluses Include:

• A combination of additional skillsets including user personas, logic/data flows, site maps, interaction diagrams, and/or functional specifications.
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping utilizing JustInMind or Axure.

Please let me know your average weekly availability and send samples of your work or a link to your portfolio along with your response. Resumes are nice but I don't tend to look at them since the proof is in the pudding. Candidates of interest will be contacted in short order.
