Lead Interaction Designer Opening
The Digital Design team is looking for a Lead Interaction Designer to work on The Times' core mobile apps for iOS and Android. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of three years experience designing elegant mobile products and possess a well-rounded, visually-exceptional portfolio that includes examples of smart UX work for fairly complex applications.
The Lead Interaction Designer will:
- Craft elegant visual and experiential solutions to support user behavior goals, the New York Times brand, and business needs.
- Act as the primary design representative on cross-disciplinary teams with colleagues from product development, technology and the newsroom to define product features and capabilities.
- Create storyboards, comps, and/or other artifacts or code necessary to guide development of beautiful, useful and consistent experiences.
- Consult to, and collaborate with, various projects and teams on design problems.
- Be an enthusiastic and empathetic user advocate and a champion of excellence in our products.
Candidates will:
- Be confident and capable working collaboratively with many stakeholders from across the Times organization: news, business, product, and technology.
- Be able to conceive and execute all aspects of the design process, and work well with other designers, developers, and producers.
- Be highly skilled at crafting storyboards, comps, prototypes and other descriptive artifacts of visual design and interactive experiences, and excel at articulating motivation and reasoning behind design decisions.
- Be curious, sharp, and aware; steadfast in defense of both the user experience and the editorial brand, but flexible in managing and balancing technical and business requirements.
The ideal candidate will have experience designing and crafting sharp mobile applications, and possess a well-rounded, visually-exceptional portfolio that includes examples of smart UX work. Familiarity with high-volume publishing workflows and environments is a plus.
All candidates should have a minimum of five years of professional experience in web/application/interaction design. In addition to exhibiting excellent skill and taste in design/user experience, they must be curious, thoughtful, collaborative, personable, organized, attentive to detail and possess strong verbal and presentation skills.
Enthusiasm — for designing and making great products and experiences, for current events and The New York Times — is essential. Original, flexible, critical thinkers who communicate and collaborate well with a wide range of contributors will thrive. Design team members are expected not only to make exceptional contributions to the design of our products, but to engage with others to foster an environment of learning and constructive dialogue about our work.
Applications without links to portfolios/work samples will not be considered.
Salary is commensurate to experience and skill.
Internal and external applicants are welcome to apply for this guild position. Interested applicants should send resumes to nytdesign@gmail.com.
