Who you are
* You’ve been designing for 7+ years for a consumer-focused tech company, so you understand all aspects of product architecture, interaction and visual design, and UX research. You are constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback, whether that’s hands-on user research or a quantitative A/B test.
* When faced with uncertainty or complexity, you have a proven knack for innovation methods that help build empathy, clarity and simplicity.
* You have a people-focused design mentality. You seek to understand your user groups and build great tools to make their work and lives easier.
* You are a systems thinker and can build solutions that work as part of a larger ecosystem of tools. You can move nimbly between digital journeys and real-world, face-to-face customer experiences.
* You are a strong collaborator and communicator, who can inspire and work with not only design partners, but many other stakeholders from marketing to engineering.
* You have a strong technological understanding and can easily navigate limitations and possibilities to set direction for achievable and excellent user experiences for the short and long term.
