Job Type:
NCC Media is jointly owned by the three largest cable companies in America. They are building a platform that will revolutionize the way TV media is bought and sold. They are seeking a UX/UI Designer who work on their cutting edge media buying and selling platform.
WHO YOU ARE:
You believe design is a verb, not a deliverable. That experience design is 80% thinking or collaborating and 20% putting pixels in place. You know (as much as you might fight it) the constraints of technology are just as important as their promise because it’s in the constraints we find our best ideas. Someone who sees the patterns in the chaos and knows how to translate those patterns into tools for the design teams. You know there’s a time for going wide, a time for going deep, and understand how to bring the product delivery teams you work with through both stages. You are a thinker, a maker, and a passionate advocate for the Minimum Delightful Product approach to the mantra of “move fast and ship it.”
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
Advocate for our users in all design decisions while collaborating with the product, engineering, and design teams
Turn everything from nebulous concepts to specific ideas into useful, delightful product features

At least 5 years of practical, in-house product or UX design experience for either consumer or B2B brands with a focus on complex flows and use cases
Applied experience with design practices

Extensive understanding of prototyping methodologies and practices, user research methodologies
An acute self-awareness and deep empathy – for both the customer and your team’s goals
