A Pacific Northwest company through and through, SingleMind is one of the fastest-growing digital design and development agencies in the region. We work with a range of companies to create compelling and elegant digital solutions (apps, websites, IoT, etc). Our mission is to help companies stay relevant in our modern world by using teamwork and collaboration to build, launch and scale new concepts and products.
Who we’re looking for
We want an enthusiastic and talented Senior UX Designer to join the team. You’ll work with the Creative Director and the design team to create user flows, wireframes, visual designs and clickable prototypes at multiple stages of the product design process and work collaboratively with the engineering team to make sure your designs are built to your specifications.
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years experience on a design team in a Senior UX Designer role (or similar)
Ability to translate high-level requirements and user stories into detailed process flows, wireframes, and effective UX standards and patterns for web and mobile apps
Ample portfolio of responsive web and mobile app experiences you can share and discuss
Primary Requirements
Create modern, responsive designs for web and mobile apps, with a keen eye toward usability, content strategy, and standardized UX patterns.
Comfortable working directly with client stakeholders to identify feedback and revise your UX documents accordingly.
Extend UX patterns across different devices: desktop, tablet, mobile, etc, using responsive and native design techniques.
Regular collaboration and meetings (updates, milestones, etc) with internal and external stakeholders.
Comfortable working by yourself or leading more junior team members. You’ll be helping guide and improve the design team around you over time, so knowledge of building up proper design standards and processes is critical.
Comfortable working and/or consulting closely with the developers that will translate your design artifacts into a usable and complete website or app.
Other things we look for

The modesty to understand you’re not the only voice.
You’re a self-starter.
You manage time wisely with an eye for detail. We try to prevent saying things like “thrives in a deadline-driven environment” because if you manage your time well, you shouldn’t feel like you’re being rushed or asked to work longer-than-normal hours.
You know how to adopt, understand, and contribute to brand guidelines.
You know how to help take some rough ideas and turn them into a cohesive brand identity.

Proven experience engaging with all levels of management
Experience leading teams and building UX design standards.
Able to handle multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines
A working knowledge of CSS and HTML is helpful and preferred
Sixth-degree UX black belt. Know how to build clean and modern interfaces. No skeuomorphism here!
A sense of humor and good listening skills are a plus
