What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior UX Designer position at Jam3?
Senior UX Designer’s Mission:
Hi. We’re Jam3, a design and experience agency. We help modern brands launch their products and design new customer experiences in digital, and beyond.
Our team brings folks together from around the world. We have Strategy, Creative, Experience Design and Production all under one roof (or many remote roofs right now). This amazing fusion of talent lets us make things we could never make alone.
Innovating all day makes us pretty fun people to work with too. We’re curious about new ideas, we know how to make them happen, and we’re always there to support each other throughout the process.
If you like making good things better you’ll fit right in.
As our new Senior UX Designer, you will work in a collaborative cross-functional team designing content and frameworks across brand, marketing and e-commerce experiences for one of our key clients (a leading silicon valley tech firm).
You’ll primarily be responsible for applying your skills in Information Architecture and Interaction Design to ensure the experiences we create are functional, usable, visually stunning, and accessible to audiences. Depending on your interests and areas of expertise, you may also be called upon to flex your skills in research, strategy and/or user interface design.
Read on for details! We’re looking forward to meeting you.
