User Experience Lead Intent Media stands at the cross-roads of online advertising and e-commerce. We are solving long-standing problems facing online merchants and direct marketers by building a unique technology solution with many interesting challenges to overcome.
Intent Media is expanding its product development team in New York City. We have a team of rock stars leading our product management and technology functions, and we are looking to add a user experience lead to that team who will help transform our product vision into a highly usable system for our customer base. If you are a talented, motivated interactive user experience designer with deep experience in the information architecture of back-end transactional systems, we want to talk to you. We'll need you to work with our product team and external partners to extract their understanding of the business objectives, conduct competitive benchmarking, and create an overall information architecture. Ideally you will also provide the front-end design for our web application. Our customers are large advertisers and e-commerce publishers (i.e. not consumers) so we value clean, elegant, functional usability over heavily art-directed design. We're strong believers in agile methodologies, so we'll want you to feel comfortable working within our iterations and seated in an open environment side-by-side with our product managers, engineers, and executives -- though we also understand that there comes a time when designers need some quiet, undisturbed time to develop the best work possible. Our offices are in the Times Square area in midtown Manhattan. Our work environment is casual, fun, and most importantly free of bureaucracy and overhead. In addition to a competitive compensation package including salary and equity, our benefits includes medical, dental and prescription drug plans, a 401(K) plan, and more. Intent Media is an Equal Opportunity Employer. About Intent Media The Intent Media founders are second time entrepreneurs who each have over eight years experience in e-commerce and direct marketing. They were part of the founding team of Site59.com, a last-second travel provider that pioneered ‘dynamic packaging’ in online travel. Site59 grew to over $100MM in gross sales in less than two years from launch, and was acquired by Travelocity in 2002. >From 2002 to 2008, the founders held senior leadership roles at Travelocity, including GM, Travelocity Partner Network; Chief Technology Officer; Chief Product Officer; and Deputy CEO, Travelocity Europe. They founded Intent Media to solve long-standing strategic problems facing online merchants and direct marketers. The company sits at the intersection of online retail and advertising, and aims to unlock the vast media value that exists inside of e-commerce sites. Intent Media is now building out a technology team which will deliver on this core promise. The team will solve unique and complex technical problems to address a very large market opportunity. Intent Media closed a large Series A with Matrix Partners, a top-tier VC, in February 2009. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
