Description

• As a UX Director you help determine the experience architecture of our clients’ digital products. • Combining stellar UX and analytical skills, you take ideas from conception to execution—collaborating with your team, navigating ambiguity, and balancing priorities as you push toward the goal and deliver on time. • Focusing on one client helps you deliver quality work, but you could be working across multiple accounts, too. • You’ve got the grit to lead the execution of UX deliverables—wireframes, interactive prototypes, user flows, site maps, and usability test plans. • Owning multiple, small-to-medium features or one major feature from design through completion can be challenging, but your skills, know-how, and attention to detail are equal to the task. • Lead discussions with stakeholders regarding feature design, using an organized and methodical approach.
