UX Design Director

Description

BoxCrush®, a digital marketing and website development agency based in Indianapolis, IN, is seeking an experienced UX Design Director with an outstanding portfolio and 5+ years of experience to join our team. The right candidate will have experience managing a team of designers and be capable of working directly with clients to help them translate their business goals into functional web design.

The right candidate will be excited about the opportunity to build a website’s user experience strategy from the ground up and be ready to dive into and test existing websites while looking for opportunities to introduce incremental improvements over time. You will work with a team of digital marketing specialists, developers, and content writers and work directly with clients to arrive at a big-picture solution.

BoxCrush provides customized website solutions for B2B and B2C clients. The UX Design Director will have to understand how users are arriving to the website (whether from BoxCrush’s organic SEO efforts or through advanced digital marketing and social media campaigns), what the goals are for a user’s journey through a client’s website (and to help develop those goals), describe, plan, and wireframe all necessary custom functionality, study what users are doing, and understand how to visually guide users to the conversion goal areas of a website.

Applicants should have advanced graphic design skills as described below. The UX Design Director will be expected to participate in the development cycle that entails meeting directly with clients, designing a website from scratch, producing a mockup, designing a finished website,  and using those resources to communicate with the client for approval. Once approved, those resources will need to be clearly communicated by the UX Design Director to the development team for coding. The applicant will then review the website application for quality assurance.
