The position requires a proven track record of exceptional strategic design thinking and a demonstrable expertise in transactional e-commerce and designing digital product solutions; tailored for physical retail environments to support the consumer's omni-channel shopping journey.

Responsible for producing clear UX documentation for marketing, transactional flows, and app experiences. These deliverables include, but are not limited too, benchmarking, journey maps, flow diagrams, wireframes, and prototypes. The Senior UX Designer is able to iterate rapidly as ideas emerge and priorities change. Brings ideas to the table, but also collaborate effectively with producers, copywriters, art directors, developers, and cross functional teams to develop clear proposals for UX solutions.
