What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of UX Design position at Ramsey Solutions?
On-Site Work in Greater Nashville, TN
At Ramsey, we give people HOPE in every walk of life. For more than 30 years, we have been the trusted brand that people come to when they need help – in their finances, their marriages, their careers, their leadership, their budgeting, and more. Today, we are a digital product company. But, we did not start out that way. Dave started this company on a card table in his living room that grew to a few small classes on finance in his church. He wrote books and started a radio show. His teachings then moved to cassette tapes, then VHS tapes and CD’s, then DVD’s, eventually MP3’s and then online streaming. There has been a lot of change.
And now, we are in the middle of an even bigger change than all of that.
We are moving from a life-changing analog experience into a life-changing digital experiences that don’t just walk with people for weeks, but through the rest of their lives! We aren’t just changing hundreds of peoples lives – we are changing MILLIONS of people's lives – and we need help! Are you looking to do work that actually matters? Then keep reading.
