We’re looking to bring on a tenacious UX Lead with a strong technical background, leadership-driven nature and a passion for both software and business in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.

Whatever hat you wear, relationship building is core to all that you do!
You love a challenge, thrive in a fast-paced environment and remain cool as a cucumber no matter the challenge at hand. ‘Flexibility and Prioritization’ are your middle names as you balance vouching for your project teams, fulfilling clients’ expectations, consulting on team resourcing, identifying gaps within projects and filling the need yourself, or assigning the right team member to step in.
