Do you dream of crafting delightful and groundbreaking digital experiences?

We're recruiting a UX Architect II to join the team at Cox Automotive. In this role, you'll envision, plan and lay the UX groundwork for a family of products. You'll create or modify design systems, establish interaction rules within a product family, evangelize UX principles and more. The right candidate will be metric-sensitive and able to articulate a strategic vision through both documentation, presentation and relationship-building.

What You'll Do

You'll plan, design and guide the overall UX interaction design implementation across digital platforms to ensure a usable, familiar and successful experience. You'll collaborate across other UX organizations and guide interaction designers to create complementary products that form a true ecosystem. Here's what else you'll be doing:

• Developing a deep understanding of our customers and business needs by participating in user research activities, including persona development/evangelism, heuristic evaluation and usability reviews.
• Assessing existing information architecture, content and design on an ongoing basis to identify experience gaps and contradictions.
• Creating user stories and flow diagrams, plus defining information hierarchies.
• Protecting the consistency of the overall user interface and ensure that individual components can be extended and reused.
• Collaborate with technical teams to determine data accessibility and understand technology constraints/advantages for the design structure.
• Examine web analytics to inform overall UX design strategy.
• Help facilitate the visual design and content of reusable components and the design system.
• Identify research-based opportunities to create business value and improve UX.
• Champion user needs and product usability while balancing business and technical constraints.
• Articulate rationale behind decisions and how to prioritize interface features.
• Identify tools, templates and techniques that evolve existing processes.
  
  

Who You Are

You can produce user experience documentation like storyboards, user scenarios/tasks/flows, wireframes and prototypes (and you've got a portfolio to prove it). An avid learner who is fascinated by human behavior, you stay up to date on the latest trends and research in product design, SEO and web/mobile technologies work across multiple business units and brands. You also have:

Minimum:

• Bachelor's degree in a related discipline and 2 years' experience in a related field. The right candidate could also have a different combination, such as a master's degree and up to 2 years' experience; or 6 years' experience in a related field
• Knowledge or understanding of user-centered design methods, techniques and other UX principles.
• Basic understanding and proficiency with Figma
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent oral, written and verbal communication skills, as well as interpersonal skills.
  
  

Preferred:

• Prior experience as a UX Architect II, designing for mobile devices, including responsive design is a plus.
• Experience working with teams on large-scale, long-term projects.
• Experience with group facilitation.
• Able to work on multiple projects with competing priorities simultaneously.
• Able to make intuitive leaps to hypothesize design solutions.
• Able to understand the big picture along with expert attention to fine detail.
• Able to deal with ambiguity and to convincingly articulate ideas and rationale.
• Able to work across multiple internal business units and companies.
