Associate Director, XD
ApplyWe’re looking for a very special someone to help as our experience design practice grows. This role asks for a lot, but you’ll have the chance to work at an agency that’s also a product company, an incubator, and a social laboratory.
What we’re looking for
We want kind, cool, talented people to join our crew. Also this:
- Clear Thinker – solving difficult problems using good questions to get to what matters
- Communicator – expressing complex things in simple and inspiring ways
- Collaborator – seeking feedback and input without ego to make the work better
- Creative – solving a problem the same way as everyone else yields similar results
- Curious – the desire to explore coupled with a deep subject matter expertise
- Entrepreneurial – self-starter who actively looks for ways to contribute
- Experience – we’re thinking at least five or six years but if you think you’ve got what it takes then give us a shout
- Good Taste – how something looks is part of how well it works
Your responsibilities
- Work with clients to devise strategic approaches to achieve their goals
- Spec out work for writers, visual designers, and developers to give clear starting points
- Be able to communicate your ideas clearly and with attractive visuals
- Bonus: Pitch in on occasional design work
What you might do
Job descriptions don’t carry a lot of weight here, but you’ll probably do things like this:
- Helping to create a product or brand strategy (problem/insights/hypotheses/tactics)
- Creating journey maps, working on service design or UX problems
- Working with clients, understanding their needs, and providing guidance
- Conducting research, e.g., heuristic analysis, competitive landscapes, interviews, leading workshops, trend analysis, and anything else that will help us understand a challenge
What it’s like here
We’re a medium-sized agency that punches above its weight with clients ranging from Fortune 100 multinationals to scrappy start-ups and not-for-profits. We provide an environment where you’ll be surrounded by talented people, art, technology, and a firehose of ideas. We encourage people to own their work and use their judgement. We try to be an ego-light crew, so we need people who are confident but kind and collaborative.
OneMethod is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture, one which reflects the world in which we live.
