Job Description

CapTech’s Customer Experience (CX) team seeks a UX Architect with a track record of designing sophisticated, intuitive, and impactful digital brand experiences that are informed by qualitative and quantitative user research and accessibility best practices.

Our UX Architects are passionate problem-solvers who strive to ensure alignment between user goals, behaviors, and attitudes with business objectives, while honing their craft and growing in their careers.

Responsibilities may include :

  • Leading the creation of personas, customer journeys, conceptual prototypes, and responsive interfaces that follow interaction design and usability best practices.
  • Leading advanced design activities such as design workshops, rapid prototyping, and iterative user testing.
  • Producing clean, informative, and concise presentations to clients and internal teams that communicate the rationale behind your designs and recommendations.
  • Advocating the benefits of accessible design and usability with clients and team members.
  • Giving insightful and constructive feedback on the designs, including interactions, information architecture, content, and alignment with business goals and user needs.
  • Performing competitive assessments and providing innovative alternatives, as well as researching and understanding design and technology trends.
  • Comfort discussing scope and level of effort (LOE) with senior practice area and account team members.
  • Volunteering for CX leadership opportunities, including contributing to methodologies, capabilities, approaches, and toolset. Attending and leading CX meetings and trainings. Engages in professional development and industry involvement.
  • Proactively seeking to mentor others about design. Providing design oversight and art direction for visual and interaction designers.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years professional experience, ideally in a consulting or agency context.
  • 4-year+ degree in design, fine arts, or similar preferred.
  • Proven written, verbal, conceptual, and visual communication skills.
  • Experience with multiple domains of human-centered design including user and market research, product and experience strategy, information architecture, experience design, content strategy, optimization, and customer insight.
  • Figma expertise is preferred, with proficiency in comparable design tools (Sketch, Adobe XD). Proficiency with Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, as well as PowerPoint.
  • Working knowledge of Agile product development lifecycles and practices is a plus.
  • Familiarity with WCAG and other accessibility guidelines and standards is a plus.
  • Please include a link to your online portfolio with your application in order to be considered.
