As digital marketers, we design innovative user experiences that cover all of a client’s bases—intuitive and comprehensive enough to appeal to employees, customers, investors, and partners alike. The Interaction Designer is an expert at balancing functionality and aesthetics. We're looking for someone inventive and insightful, someone who enjoys figuring out six different ways around any roadblock.
From content organization to screen layouts to page flows, across all desktop and mobile devices, we rely on our Interaction Designers to guide the creation of our clients' online interaction—shaping dynamic first, second, and third impressions.
What you’ll do:
- Be the ultimate user advocate by assessing pain points, identifying opportunities, and developing solutions that improve the overall user experience across all digital platforms.
- Lead the development of interface design, interaction models, and content structure.
- Ensure that all digital initiatives reflect a clear understanding of target audience behavior, meet audience expectations and needs, and help drive our client’s larger strategic goals.
- Own the overall information architecture and user experience vision for the solutions we create—including our own product and website (e.g., Pepper and Vodori.com)—and guide their evolution as needed to accommodate the growth and changing goals, direction and audience.
- Create and maintain all necessary documentation (e.g., wireframes, user flows, site maps, annotated templates) to guide design and development efforts, and support user-centric thinking and practices across the team.
- Integrate research and analytics into decision-making. Compile and evaluate research needs, analyze results, and translate into actionable recommendations.
- Create informed solutions across a wide range of technologies including: tablets, smart phones, web, and social media platforms.
- Facilitate client meetings to tease out user experience strategies and requirements, as well as present concepts and solutions.
- Participate in business development activities, including in-person presentations, prototypes, and proposal development.
- Mentor and lead junior team members.
What we’re looking for:
- Bachelor's degree in interaction design, human-computer interaction, or related subject, master’s degree preferred.
- Experience with increasingly complex and multi-channel interaction design. Link to online portfolio or work samples should be submitted with your resume.
- Ability to promote creative ideas and inform design within the company by clearly articulating design thinking in your speaking, writing, and work.
- Expert tactical execution of wireframes, sitemaps, page flows, and user personas.
- Demonstrated ability to translate company and product brand strategies into user experiences that engage target audiences.
- Proven ability to deliver on multiple, concurrent projects across traditional digital channels (desktop) and mobile/tablet form factors.
- A knack for quickly developing concepts and interaction storyboards through freehand sketches, white boards, sticky notes, etc.
- Strong research and analytical skills spanning user persona development, usability testing, client interviews and focus group facilitation.
- Consultative solution delivery working with multiple cross-functional internal and client teams.
