Description: |
Rapidly growing e-commerce company has a fantastic opportunity for a UX Director. Employing UX methodologies from Google and the UK web design firm, Clearleft, the position will own the entire end-to-end process of bringing new functionality to the site: from scoping the project with the business owners to wire-framing/prototyping a proof of concept to creating the interactive elements to shepherding the new functionality live into production. This position will also lead a Sr. UX Designer and two web designers to create the most elegantly usable ecommerce websites, on the internet.
The UX Director should demonstrate a rich but versatile aesthetic, be a little geeky when it comes to usability, and intuitively understand and solve for the nuances of ecommerce design patterns. In addition, and quite significantly, the role needs to interface with our marketing and merchandizing teams to help them realize their business goals.

Duties: |
· Create an environment where your team can thrive and have ownership of their projects
· Meet with Marketing and Merchandizing stakeholders to define functional solutions for business problems
· Create wireframes or prototypes as proof of concept
· Design interaction, look and feel
· Write non-technical specification for programmers
|
Qualifications: |
· BA/BS or MA/MS in Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Human Factors or related field.
· 4+ years of experience in designing and prototyping for the web; ecommerce experience is preferred, but not required.
· Knowledge of user-centered design principles coupled with a “don’t make me think” understanding of usability.
· Strong Photoshop and Illustrator skills; high-fidelity prototyping experience is a plus.
· Ability to write non-technical specs for programmers
· Demonstrated ability to manage expectations, meet firm deadlines and thrive in a dynamic work environment.
· Knowledge of coding/scripting is not necessary, but a good understanding of what HTML, CSS and JavaScript are capable of bringing to the modern web is desired.
· Above all else: good intuition and the ability to generate solutions based on new fresh thinking.
