Overview
Our Experience Design team crafts digital experiences people love to use. We are collaborators and innovators who thrive in multidisciplinary teams. We can start from a blank page and help realize the vision for a great experience, and aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty making that vision a reality.
Our experience runs the gamut from site to mobile, eCom to campaign, marketing to editorial to product, with one foot in beautiful visual expressions and the other in rock-solid user experience. At heart we are designers who love creating new, meaningful experiences and are well versed in the practice of modern digital experience creation.
We’re looking for a leader who will help set the vision for their teams and their projects. You’ll be as comfortable sweating the details of a design interaction as you are presenting your teams’ work. You’ll be a mentor and a manager, developing talent to be their best. And you’re passionate about growing your own talent, as well.
Responsibilities
Things we want to see in you:
- A portfolio of beautiful, usable experiences designed for all kinds of devices and contexts, showcasing impactful experiences for products and platforms, campaigns and content
- Hybrid design experience: strong UX fundamentals paired up with refined UI and visual design skills
- Well versed in the fundamentals of visual design: color, typography, illustration, motion, etc.
- (Not so) basic prototyping capabilities
- Exceptional ability to create, maintain, evolve and use a design system
- Strong experience in discovery-based activities, user research, and agile processes
- Demonstrated ability to think holistically about an experience to ensure user and business needs are met
- Competency to create site maps, wireframes, user flows, journey maps and other experience models
- Complete comfort sketching and riffing with a team to arrive at exceptional design solutions
- Experience partnering with other capabilities to strategize, design and build the work, including annotating complex interactions
- High level of proficiency in Figma and Adobe CC
- Experience with generative AI tools (e.g., Figma AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Midjourney, Runway) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation
- Amazingly awesome written and presentation skills that showcase passion, informed opinions and design rationale
- Strong experience leading project teams of designers and content strategists to produce on time and quality deliverables – you must be able to get briefed on a new project, collaborate with a team to tackle the challenge, and manage, organize and defend the work of your team members, while also contributing to the day to day outputs
- At least a couple years of experience managing and mentoring direct reports and junior talent in their career growth
