As an addition to our Customer Experience team, you will extend our capabilities, build internal capacity, and push the status quo. That’s how we create compelling websites and products that drive business value and demonstrate clear ease of use.
Who we're looking for
Your 5+ years of UX design experience have given you the ability to work with a human-centred lens and create more meaningful digital experiences. You believe in a collaborative, multidisciplinary project approach and know that diverse perspectives lead to stronger work.
If the person below sounds like you, you should definitely apply.
- You have a deep understanding of the iterative user experience design process. You know how to think ahead to see how solutions will function across different devices and for disparate audiences.
- You're proficient in software like Figma, Miro, JIRA, Confluence, and Notion for workshopping, designing, and prototyping. Bonus marks if you’re using AI for ideation and prototyping. You also understand and have experience with agile work processes.
- You're collaborative. You love solving complex design problems and understand how your work fits with other disciplines, including writing, visual design, technology, research, and data. You also understand how to use the UX design process to create team alignment and stakeholder consensus.
- You communicate design decisions and user insights clearly and persuasively to cross-functional teams, leadership, and clients. You adapt your communication style to suit technical and non-technical audiences.
- You're flexible. You know when to hold your ground and when to adapt your approach or recommendations based on feedback. You win the hearts and minds of clients by helping them ask the right questions, probing when necessary, and developing tailored strategies.
- Design Systems, eCommerce and Telecommunications experience an asset in this role.
A day in the life
You will be a key contributor to one of our key clients, collaborating within the UX/UI team and across multiple other disciplines such as Data and analytics and Marketing. You will be aligned to specific tasks that directly relate and impact the day-to-day sales and shopping experience of our client. You'll have various touch points throughout the week as you work through solving challenges facing our client in an agile manner.
That said, here are a few activities that will likely take up most of your time:
- Lead the user experience work for multiple clients, and advocate for those clients' users every step of the way.
- Act as a mentor to junior user experience designers.
- Create organizing principles, user flows, and site maps.
- Sketch, wireframe, design, and prototype user experience solutions.
- Test your work to improve results for our clients.
- Lead clients and customers in rapid design labs and workshops.
