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.

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.

You also have:

  • Basic understanding and proficiency with Figma
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
