User Experience Designer

We're looking for a User Experience Designer to join our experience strategy team. You will be responsible for advocating for the user throughout the design and development process. Your holistic understanding of both the client’s goals and the audience’s needs will help you create documentation that guides the team to a successful and engaging end-result.

Working as a part of our creative team, you will apply best practices in translating strategy into use cases, workflows, wireframes, and prototypes for client engagements as well as internal projects. Your ability to conduct research will allow you to explore each approach from multiple vantages and make informed decisions which prioritize a myriad of content and interactions. You will communicate your ideas with a clarity that will augment the documents that you create.

The ideal candidate is a problem solver who has empathy for the user and possesses the self-motivation to inspire the team to feel the same depth of understanding for the experience at hand. You understand that user experience is not defined by the creation of wireframes or prototypes, but rather that such deliverables are the output of a rich understanding of a person’s interaction with a product or digital campaign.


Responsibilities and Requirements:

• Collaborate with the creative and tech teams to produce digital experiences that meet the needs of our clients or agency
• Create user experience documentation in the form of content audits, site maps, wireframes, and prototypes
• Perform both user and strategic research
• Maintain a contemporary understanding of industry best practices as well as emerging technology and trends

Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of design experience (preferably with a background in agency work)
• An established knowledge of experience design best practices
• The ability to convey your ideas through solid written and oral communication skills
• Proficiency with Adobe CS software while maintaining a software agnostic approach to design
• Experience with HTML/CSS/JS as a method for prototyping
• Experience with motion graphics software a plus
• A proactive drive to ask questions and learn new skills
• A positive attitude and passion for problem solving
