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

  • (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

Qualifications
Great candidates often have:
  • A four-year degree
  • A formal design education, and 7-9+ years of experience being sort of amazing
  • Additional study in HCI, Human Factors or Graphic Design
  • Enough research experience to be dangerous
  • A robust portfolio of work across devices and platforms
  • Basic understanding of front-end development technologies
  • A familiarity with common social platforms
  • Creative agency experience desired
  • Prior experience with CRM as a channel
