We’re growing, and we're looking for Senior UX Designers to join our team on a contract basis. You’ll report to our Director of User Experience and work within multi-disciplinary teams to deliver great software experiences for our customers.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Senior Experience Designers work closely with clients to define business and user requirements, translate these requirements into design elements and ensure client objectives are satisfied throughout project development. They produce deliverables like user personas, conceptual models, requirements matrices, site/screen maps, process flows, wireframes, etc., and collaborate with cross-functional teams to create great interactive experiences for our customers.
DESIRED ORIENTATION
The kind of person we’re looking for:
· You love the challenge, diversity and the dynamic pace of agency life
· You’ve got all personality traits of your average UX ninja: detail oriented to a fault, quality-driven, and methodical
· You’re service-oriented, and know what great professional services should feel like to clients
· The idea of presenting to a room of client executives gets you excited, because you possess great presentation and communication skills
· You’re an excellent writer. You know the difference between “its” and “it’s” and it bugs you when people get them wrong
· You’re fundamentally user-centered and love to design from research-based insights — but you’re completely willing to dive into design without them when budgets, timelines, and extenuating circumstances rule
STUFF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT
What motivates you:
· Pursuit of excellence in your craft & execution. You’re passionate about User Experience and its ability to make the world a better place. You expect A+ work from yourself and your teammates, and you care about producing great work. No half-assing it, only full-ass for you. You’re always learning, developing yourself, and pushing beyond the standards you see around you. It’s your way of life.
· You value connections with your colleagues and clients. You draw your energy from human interaction. You’re confident and engaging. People are energized by the way you engage them. Amazing teamwork is your everyday ambition.
· You thrive in uncharted territory. The uncertain and unknown are your playgrounds. Your personal compass pushes you out of comfort zones. Your courageous leadership inspires your colleagues and clients.
· Curiosity didn’t kill the cat, it made you the rock star that you are. You are driven by an insatiable desire to know more, to know why, to ask what if. Your curiosity inspires you and powers your imagination.
· You’re a born collaborator, and truly appreciate the perspectives of other brains. You respect & attract your colleagues & clients’ opinions. You ask great questions.
