San Francisco, United States Kettle Solutions LLC Full time

Kettle is a team of passionate, fearless creatives focused on delivering great products, redefining best-practices, and providing new opportunities for our clients. 

We are looking for a Director, Interaction Design (IXD) to join one of our largest accounts. In this role, you’ll set the product vision, design new features, and enhance existing ones while establishing scalable UX/UI patterns across platforms. As a design director, you’ll both lead and manage a group of designers as a project lead, while contributing directly to the work as the most senior practitioner on the team. 

Candidates should have:
  • Extensive interaction or product design experience in either agency or related environments designing iOS and Android native applications, websites, and internal tools.
  • Design leadership experience across the product design lifecycle, including experience leading both UX and UI design workstreams.
  • A clear communication style, with proven experience collaborating with senior level clients and presenting to executive leadership.
  • Experience delivering user-focused solutions in high-complexity categories (financial services, telco, consumer tech, etc.)
  • Experience managing and mentoring junior to senior level IxD designers
  • While not required, bonus if you have experience with:
  • Design of AI-enabled features
  • Working with Adobe Experience Manager
We’d like to know that you can:
  • Guide high-level strategic decisions around product design and experience
  • Contribute to the entire product lifecycle from start to finish — starting with defining IA, user journey, wireframes, to designing user interactions and handoff to development
  • Balance leadership of the team with hands-on design work, guiding projects towards design excellence.
  • Lead the IxD stream of work on projects, understanding how to break larger projects down into smaller tracts to handoff to designers and bring learnings from one work stream to another
  • Partner with teammates of different disciplines including strategy, production, and development.
  • Build strong client relationships with a solid understanding of their business needs, goals, and how those intersect with the consumer’s experience
  • Adapt to different working styles and processes, from quick turn optimization to blue sky visioning. 
  • Manage and mentor designers of all levels, helping them chart their career path and provide opportunities to grow

The target range of base compensation for this role is $180k-$220k. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and location.
