You will combine business and user requirements to define the information architecture most suitable for the experience using techniques like card sorting and tree testing to develop site maps and navigational schemas, working alongside user researchers when needed. You will create wireframes and use rapid prototyping to deliver outputs and facilitate a smooth handoff with developers in routine agile ceremonies.

Additionally, you will apply color and composition to create meaningful experiences that consistently raise the bar and reset expectations for employee-facing experiences. You will be an advocate for users and an ambassador for our brand, creating designs that are familiar, intuitive, and accessible for all. You will use communication skills to ensure that design rationale is understood. You will introduce creativity while driving consistency, ensuring that styles express our brand but are optimized for context and the technical platform being utilized. You will work closely with technology and testing to ensure that development outputs adhere to the designs you put forth. You will work alongside user researchers to apply data-driven insights so that you deliver the right product to meet user needs.
