You will report into CSS leadership, managing and coordinating the required work of the individual CSS departments as they prepare their teams to support product changes; the individual will serve as the connective tissue between CSS and other departments such as Product Marketing and PMO. The ideal candidate will be an exemplary team player, a proven relationship builder, a passionate problem solver with the ability to create order out of ambiguity. This is a critical role for ensuring all stakeholders within CSS are well-informed and working toward the same goal, while effectively coordinating communications and changes with customers as new products and features are released. The right candidate will bring a proven track-record managing larger-scale projects and the ability to earn trust and work effectively with cross-functional, demonstrate a proven track record of discovering and applying insights toward creating new mechanisms that help CSS scale, and will always “roll up the sleeves” to get things done. This is an exciting new opportunity to work with a diverse set of teams to help our merchants succeed in accomplishing their eCommerce goals.

We are looking for a talented, down-to-earth UX Designer experienced in both web and mobile. This is a startup: You’ll enjoy donning many hats and work closely with our Creative Director. You thrive on informed iteration in order to design experiences that work at scale. You have an impeccable design sense, and a keen eye for detail and craft. Collaboration is in your DNA, but you aren’t afraid to prioritize, make decisions and communicate. You’ll come in and make an immediate impact to our small (but mighty) design team, and play a large role in representing our brand visually as a whole.

You converge on exactly what the customer needs by iterating on lo-fidelity prototypes. You solicit feedback directly from your customers before, during, and after - pretty much daily. You believe in creating the most useful experiences, more important than usability or beauty. You share facts that matter to customers about how your solutions are better than competitors. You’re as excited about finding / identifying / uncovering problems as you are about crafting solutions. You base design decisions on insights rather than observations (and you know the difference between the two). You go with your gut and make decisions quickly, seek feedback, and make changes along the way. You think holistically - you recognize that the journey starts well before and well after the product. You value generative research - bonus points if you have experience leading research and synthesis. Our culture code rings true to you. It’s simple. Be customer-focused, and kick butt at experience design.
