Last modified: 2014.06.09. Our startup is proud and excited to invite your review of our latest executive opening. After patient R&D, we are looking to expand immediately from our current team of 3 full-time employees to 6 in this particular round of hirings. All available positions will commence immediately once the right candidate is selected. Thank you for your interest and good luck! Vice President, User Experience Vercettie Marketing Corp. (Vancouver B.C. - Coal-Harbour) Incorporated in 2010, Vercettie is a marketing lab focused on developing scalable and tech-based solutions. Over the past several years our start-up venture has invested heavily in research and development of several innovative technologies. These beta technologies are now on the verge of marketability as standalone and modularized products. Vercettie's key products include a suite of global real-estate solutions and a next-generation CRM. While on track to spin off additional products from existing R&D, Vercettie is just beginning to shape its young and disruptive portfolio. Job Description Working directly with the President and Product Managers, you will be responsible for the user experience and interface of Vercettie's entire portfolio of solutions. As the corporation's lead UX/I you will innovate experience by design and directing simplified interfaces that work intuitively across devices and platforms. " Simplicity is not enough. Good design involves a paring down to only the essential elements required to achieve the desired effect. We must respect the user's objective and time by progressively challenging design to be simpler, more intuitive, and develop efficient solutions that deliver higher speeds and accuracy while omitting non-essential elements. " -- Excerpt from Vercettie's Principal Beliefs NOTE: our intent is not to hire a designer that can code their own vision. We are in pursuit of an innovative UX/I designer first, an effective front-end developer second. While basic understanding of existing and upcoming technologies are a must, our VP will only be encouraged to code if he/she can demonstrate a strong front-end skill and knowledge. Responsibilities - Product functionality requirements gathering - User analysis - Information architecture - Prototyping - Usability inspection - Graphic interface design - Train, mentor, and direct other UX/I designers as the team grows - Deliver clear specifications to the development team and work through any technical considerations. - Apply consumer-like user interface design ideas to business applications. - Create innovative and cutting edge user interactions. - Explore competitive products and design approaches to promote innovation and identify emerging best practices. - Present your design explorations, solutions, and tradeoff rationale to communicate design concepts clearly and persuasively to team partners and senior stakeholders. - Work closely and collaboratively within an agile team of product managers, developers, and designers to define and achieve product objectives, creative approaches, and deliverables. - Visualize concepts quickly and cleanly through sketching, paper prototypes and other rapid prototyping methods
