UX / IA Architect

We are a close-knit, agile team searching for a user experience architect who is passionate about all things web. If you are that person, then you believe that the most effective websites are a marriage of aesthetics and usability. You love helping clients build an engaging and impactful web presence, and you thrive in a fast-paced and creative team environment.

In this job you will work directly with clients and collaborate with your team to plan websites for clients.

Working with your team, you will help define a strategy for the client’s web presence. You will then be responsible for information architecture and defining user interfaces. These interfaces will be given to a graphic designer who will create the visual appearance. The final deliverable of your work will vary from project to project, but it will most commonly be a sitemap and wireframes / storyboards.
