• Experience with information architecture, UX, and content strategy concepts and deliverables.
• Experience with responsive design best practices and designing for the mobile web
• Using a CMS to build webpages (AEM experience is a major plus)
• Prototyping and presentation-layer development; you can build what you design in HTML, CSS/JS, and in AEM using the NDS
• Fluent knowledge of Figma, the Adobe Suite and other design and rapid-prototyping tools
• Knowledge of current online product trends and best practices

You'll also bring the following skills or experiences to our team:

• Familiarity with enterprise content management systems, design systems, consumer-facing products, and multi-destination publishing platforms (create once, publish everywhere).
• Enthusiasm for gaming desired; ability to stay on the forefront of industry trends a big plus

In a typical week, you could:
• Product owners, production designers, game studio teams, marketing managers, the Competitive Gaming team, and engineers to bring an ongoing roadmap of interactive features to life and support ongoing CGE events.
• The CMS and publishing teams to ensure the content-heavy features you'll design can be fulfilled by authoring workflows and publishing processes.
• UXR, CI, and analytics to inform UX strategy and ensure feature optimizations are measurably improving the player experience.

You'll build relationships and work with:
