Client partners include IKEA, Apple, PGA TOUR, Gatorade, Google, Mercedes, Givenchy, the MTA and more. As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies which rarely approach outside firms. Forrester Research calls our approach “a model to follow.” Visit work.co to learn more.

We look for Associate Design Directors who see no boundaries between form and function, and who think the feel of a product should come more from how it works than how it looks. We believe designers are basically strategists who express strategy through design. 

Creating digital products is a team game. Our methodology emphasizes intense collaboration, early prototyping and testing, and so many iterations you’ll lose count. Associate Design Directors work closely with Product Managers, Strategists, and Developers to create digital products and services that reshape industries while mentoring others in the Work & Co Design team. Our Partners are hands on and you’ll work directly with them — no middle management here. 

What You Will Do

• Stay 100% focused on making great digital products--that’s all we care about.
• Work iteratively on initial concepts, prototypes, and detailed designs informed by user research, marketplace and behavior trends, and your best ideas.
• Participate in a hands-on manner through all product phases, from strategy to launch to optimization (this job is not just about making wireframes or participating in one phase).

We Are Looking For

• Proven ability to propose creative concepts during initial project phases and the ability to deliver on those ideas and the ideas of others through detailed design with little oversight
• Proven ability to solve complex UX problems and the product strategy skills to deliver best-in-class visual design solutions
• Ability to uncover and utilize business truths and user behaviors that help define a great product
• Demonstrated ability to synthesize and present your work
• Experience working in a highly iterative, collaborative environment where people share work daily
