User Experience Lead
San Francisco, CA, USA
DESCRIPTION
Our client is looking for a Lead User Experience Designer to help set the direction, tone, and strategy for their products. They are seeking someone who will contribute directly in their particular areas of expertise (web design, quantitative usability research, UI design, etc.) — but also someone who can help guide product development at all levels, not just at the level of interaction design or graphic design for the interface.
This is a premier bay area startup with a rockstar management team that includes experienced entrepreneurs, ex-Google engineers, and a philosophy professor working together in downtown San Francisco. Client's company is home to a new type of search that makes it easy to find subjective information.
They build products that enable users to tap into the wisdom of their real-world social network. Their first offering takes on the problem of "subjective search" — finding information that is customized and relevant to your personal tastes, needs, and context.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design interactive mockups for a variety of media (web, IM, etc.)
- Interact directly with users via interviews or usability tests
- Assist in the development of effective and understandable messaging
- Analyze user behavior data
- Think creatively about product features and evolution
QUALIFICATIONS
- Formal background in HCI or closely related field
- Broad exposure to usability and user experience design in general
- Both academic and industry experience is a plus
- Experience with Social Media preferred
