**Introduction**
Have you heard about IBM Client Engineering?
**Your Role and Responsibilities**
**To be successful in this role you will need to**:
- Be a Facilitator, you will set up some of the logistics and customize the materials beforehand.
Then you're kicking off the meeting, running the activities, keeping things on track, and keeping a high-level view toward a successful outcome.
- Simultaneously, you're a Consultant, building a relationship with interdisciplinary IBM and client teams to deliver value to the client and create opportunities for IBM.
- Be a Designer, you're advocating for the end user's needs and good user experiences.
After a workshop, you might create designs for a Proof of Concept, a demo, a Minimum Viable Product, or some other way of demonstrating IBM's ability to meet the client's needs.
This could require a few days or a few weeks.
(Currently, we use Sketch for wireframes and Invision for clickable prototypes.)
You might engage in information architecture, research, or evaluation.
You'll occasionally have the opportunity to bring other skills to the table, like visual design, video, or illustration.
Your squad will know an engagement is successful when it has guided customers through our process to where they are aligned on outcomes, convinced of the efficacy of IBM's technology, and committed to working with IBM's people, products, and services.
Be aware that for this particular Client Engineering Designer position, the design work is concepts and processes - uncovering business value, defining a problem, shaping solutions, and proving them out.
What you're creating will look less like a visual designer's portfolio and more like a user researcher's portfolio.
