What is experience design?

Experience design is a multidisciplinary approach focused on creating meaningful and relevant experiences for users when they interact with a product, service, or system. It involves understanding user needs, behaviors, and emotions to design seamless, enjoyable, and effective touchpoints across digital and physical environments. Experience designers use research, prototyping, and testing to ensure that every aspect of the user journey is thoughtful and user-centered, ultimately enhancing satisfaction and engagement.

How does an experience design professional typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a project?

Experience Design professionals often work closely with product managers, developers, marketers, and researchers throughout a project’s lifecycle. They facilitate workshops, gather stakeholder input, and ensure user needs remain central to the design process. Effective collaboration involves frequent communication, iterative feedback sessions, and clear documentation to align everyone toward a shared vision. This collaborative structure helps create cohesive, user-centric products that meet both business and user goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an experience designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Experience Designer, you need a strong grasp of user-centered design principles, visual design, prototyping, and a relevant degree in design or a related field. Proficiency with tools like Sketch, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and usability testing platforms is commonly required. Exceptional communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving skills help set standout Experience Designers apart. These skills are crucial for creating engaging, effective user experiences that meet business goals and delight end users.

Job Description

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
  • Hybrid design experience: strong UX fundamentals paired up with refined UI and visual design skills
  • Well versed in the fundamentals of visual design: color, typography, illustration, motion, etc.
  • (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
