• Consistently and proactively build long-term, and highly productive working relationships across disciplines at 10up and with our clients.
• Create and communicate UX Design project plans that account for project constraints and client preferences.
• Recognize and pursue UX Design opportunities with existing and/or new clients with support of account development team members.
• Lead by example - do great work and help people on the team learn how you do it.

About you:

• You have 7+ years experience working in a fast-paced, digital agency environment across multiple work groups and with multiple concurrent projects across user experience design.
• You are at your best when you are providing expert-level guidance on project workflow and UX design deliverables that achieve the best possible project outcomes given a set of budget, timeline, and client constraints.
• You have a strong understanding of web interactions: patterns, best practices, and common challenges website developers face; and experience driving strategic solutions to those challenges
• You've worked with large-scale, CMS-driven website projects using block-based editors (e.g. Gutenberg for Wordpress).
• You understand content strategy, publishing workflows, and content management platforms.
• You love sharing what you know and have tangible experience mentoring, teaching, or guiding other designers.

Benefits of interest:

• Multiple paid time off programs, including accrued PTO, parental leave, bereavement leave, and company holidays – including an all-company break from Christmas Eve to New Years Day.
• Health, dental, and life insurance programs (available for United States team members).
• Retirement contribution programs (currently available in the U.S. and U.K.).
• Flexible and alternate schedule programs - including options for 4-day work week (Monday-Thursday) configurations.
• $3,000 USD accrued annually in professional development budget for you to spend on conferences, training, or to buy back time for programs like independent study.
• Global Company summits – opportunities to meet, socialize and learn with fellow 10uppers in person at remarkable destinations.
• An end-of-year all-hands bonus program, along with smaller opportunities for recognition throughout the year.
