Associate Director

Job Description

Our Experience Design team crafts digital experiences people love to use. We are collaborators and innovators who thrive in multidisciplinary teams. We can start from a blank page and help realize the vision for a great experience, and aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty making that vision a reality.

Our experience runs the gamut from site to mobile, eCom to campaign, marketing to editorial to product, with one foot in beautiful visual expressions and the other in rock-solid user experience. At heart we are designers who love creating new, meaningful experiences and are well versed in the practice of modern digital experience creation.

We’re looking for a leader who will help set the vision for their teams and their projects. You’ll be as comfortable sweating the details of a design interaction as you are presenting your teams’ work. You’ll be a mentor and a manager, developing talent to be their best. And you’re passionate about growing your own talent, as well.

Sound good? Good.
