User Interface Designer 


Position Overview 
We’re seeking an ambitious creative professional to execute design for web user experience (UX). You must have the passion to defend design; the maturity to work collaboratively with business leads; the intellect to synthesize brand, user experience and business requirements into well-crafted design solutions; and the discipline to be creative within a closed design system. As a member of a high-functioning team of UX professionals responsible for evolving an established Fortune 500 brand, you must have the ability to make the pragmatic concerns of business and user experience your first priority, above personal artistic expression. 

Our user experience (UX) practice operates as an internal agency to our corporate business partners. The work is fast-paced, big in scope, and generates immediate results for the success of our company and our customers. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone who thrives in a collaborative setting. On our team, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside some of the industry’s top UX professionals in a variety of disciplines. The work demands a healthy respect for the contributions of all stakeholders, and a solid understanding of how visual design plays a supporting role in a user-centered design methodology. If you have a heart for innovation, a head for usability, and all the requisite talent to boot, we want to talk to you. 

We offer a creative agency vibe, along with a business casual work environment, including an on-site, state-of-the-art usability lab—among the best of its kind.
