Who you are
You are a person who thinks big at the system level and has worked extensively using customer insights to inform and personalize user experience in customer-facing retail, whether that's in automotive or in another customer-focused retail industry like luxury consumer goods, travel and hospitality, on-demand services, or other relevant fields in which customers are equally interacting with a brand through both online channels and brick-and-mortar stores and face-to-face conversations. You will continue to deepen their relationship with the brand post-purchase through various ownership journeys around the globe. Ideally, you’ve been in UX Design for 8+ years for consumer-focused technology, so you understand all aspects of product architecture, interaction and visual design, and UX research.
We believe that you are a person with:
* Strong UX fundamentals and user-centered design practices.
* Service and customer engagement experience within UX, including understanding multiple channels (phone, chat, etc.) where customers may engage with a brand.


* The ability to create a logical, consistent, and elegant structure from messy complexity, and to transition to a scalable set of global systems.
* Experience working with mature design systems, understanding and designing for web, mobile, and physical environments like stores and cars.
* Great communication skills and a collaborator with design partners, and other stakeholders from teams such as product, operations, and engineering, and have leadership experience for complex projects.
* Experience with global retail, customer lifecycles, luxury brands and assets or similar, and managing very large CRM platforms such as Salesforce and multi-channel ticketing tools are big benefits.
* A portfolio (or work samples) of relevant past projects, our recruitment process includes a portfolio presentation, as well as a design exercice.
