The Lead Experience Designer will lead the design strategy for new concepts coming from our strategic arm, building a design vision, and ensuring high quality in all discovery, user interactions and design execution for the project.

Responsibilities:

  • Work closely with our strategy leadership team in forming high level designs and vision for new and compelling products or experiences.

  • Generate high quality and inspirational design for the experience and/or product.

  • Drive the iterative process to ensure the highest quality designs.

  • Work side-by-side with our engineering team to bring designs to life, taking an agile and collaborative approach which results in fast prototyping and adjustments when necessary.

  • Work closely with the Manager of Product Design and our Engineering Leads

You'll also bring the following skills or experiences to our team:

  • Minimum of 7-10 years of experience in product/experience design, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on web platforms, apps, or related digital products. Complete UX understanding: problem discovery, solution generation, concept creation, wireframing, testing, synthesis, iteration, prototyping, competitive analysis, customer journey mapping, applying design systems and producing deliverables for development.

  • Strong understanding of enterprise content management systems, design systems, consumer-facing products, and multi-destination publishing platforms (create once, publish everywhere).

  • Deep understanding of user-centered design principles, interaction design, and information architecture.

  • Expert knowledge of design and prototyping tools like Figma or others.

  • General awareness of web and mobile technology (i.e., JavaScript, React, Typescript, HTML/CSS).

  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to think creatively and strategically to design intuitive and visually appealing solutions.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams.

  • Experience with design systems, demonstrating the ability to create and maintain consistent design patterns and guidelines.
