• The ability to quickly grasp and distill highly complex user design issues into clean, understandable solutions.
• Be able to speak the language of back-end engineers, internal business clients and our customers.
• Assist with user research and data collection as needed (user testing, site heat maps, site metrics via Omniture, Google Analytics, etc.) to guide design and performance improvements.
• You flourish in a fast paced, iterative, deadline driven environment, and know your way around project management, including juggling multiple parts of a project and keeping up to date with all the moving parts.
• Strong communication and organizational skills are critical to success among this company of talented individuals.
