Thats how we create compelling websites and products that drive business value and demonstrate clear ease of use.

Who we're looking for

• You're proficient in software like Figma, Miro, JIRA, Confluence, and Notion for workshopping, designing, and prototyping. Bonus marks if youre using AI for ideation and prototyping. You also understand and have experience with agile work processes.
• You're collaborative. You love solving complex design problems and understand how your work fits with other disciplines, including writing, visual design, technology, research, and data. You also understand how to use the UX design process to create team alignment and stakeholder consensus.
• You communicate design decisions and user insights clearly and persuasively to cross-functional teams, leadership, and clients. You adapt your communication style to suit technical and non-technical audiences.

A day in the life

You will be a key contributor to one of our key clients, collaborating within the UX/UI team and across multiple other disciplines such as Data and analytics and Marketing. You will be aligned to specific tasks that directly relate and impact the day-to-day sales and shopping experience of our client. You'll have various touch points throughout the week as you work through solving challenges facing our client in an agile manner.

That said, here are a few activities that will likely take up most of your time:

• Lead the user experience work for multiple clients, and advocate for those clients' users every step of the way.
• Act as a mentor to junior user experience designers.
• Create organizing principles, user flows, and site maps.
• Sketch, wireframe, design, and prototype user experience solutions.
• Test your work to improve results for our clients.
• Lead clients and customers in rapid design labs and workshops.
