• Work closely with cross-functional teams to help define business and feature requirements, user scenarios and use cases
• Develop and nurture relationships across teams and disciplines to promote collaboration and efficiency
• Proactively manage your own work queue, time and expectations, meet deadlines and communicate needs and tradeoffs if your schedule is in jeopardy

A day in the life
You will lead UX design for a variety of projects, from discovery to workflow development, to wireframes and high-fidelity mocks. You will be working from high-level requirements to define design flows, interactions, and content strategies in collaboration with business leaders, engineers, product managers, and other UX designers. To be successful, you must be a critical, inventive thinker with clear design chops, an excitement for understanding and using data, and an ability to communicate your ideas effectively. Being a big music fan is a plus.
