What We’re Looking For

• Passionate advocate for the end product user with an eye for overall customer value and business impact.
• Ability to breakdown complex concepts and communicate them persuasively to a wide range of stakeholders across the organization.
• Know how to conduct usability tests, including facilitating activities directly with key customer contacts as well as internally with our operations and account management teams.
• An excellent individual contributor with a passion for design, entrepreneurship and technology.
• Know the difference between quantitative and qualitative metrics, when and how to use them effectively.
• Self-motivated, positive, open minded, with a desire to collaborate and learn.
• Pixel perfect attention to detail during UI implementation.
