Overview

The Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) seeks to contract an expert skilled in information architecture and data visualisation to design digital tools that better illustrate WFD’s internal decision-making, programme management and quality assurance processes. These are important processes with multiple junctions in which context affects the direction taken and can appear overly-complex when represented in narrative form or a simple workflow. Therefore, we are seeking an expert(s) with experience in how to design and organise complex information and the ability to construct digital tools that allow users to access details relevant to the specific projects on which they’re working.
