- You excel as a leader, consistently driving client growth and delivering high-quality results independently in a fast-paced environment, without the need for oversight.
Responsibilities may include:
- Leading the creation of personas, customer journey maps, wireframes, responsive visual designs, and interactive prototypes that follow interaction design and usability best practices.
- Managing the project team to nurture junior creatives, develop their talents, and elevate the overall quality of the client deliverables.
- Presenting design concepts and rationale to clients and internal teams in a clear and compelling manner.

- Giving insightful and constructive feedback on the design of the experience, including interactions, information architecture, content, layout, and overall alignment with goals and brand.
- Performing competitive assessments and providing innovative alternatives, as well as researching and understanding design and technology trends.
- Leading client projects strategically, facilitating workshops, and creating high-level roadmaps and recommendations based on research, insights and best practices.
- Contributing to the evolution of CX methodologies, capabilities, approaches, and toolset. Attending and leading CX meetings and trainings. Engaging in professional development and industry involvement.
- Strong knowledge of user interface design best practices across various platforms, including web, OS-native, and embedded apps. Advocating the benefits of accessible experience and visual design with clients and team members.
- Exploring and leveraging AI-powered design tools and workflows, staying current with emerging technologies, and experimenting with new approaches to enhance creativity, efficiency, and impact.
