Creative Manager | Broadband

The Broadband Team (Internet related assets, products, and partnerships including Allconnect.com) is seeking a Creative Manager and critical thinker to join our growing Creative Team. You'll play an instrumental role in developing core consumer-facing products for internal and external brands, while also managing a team of visual, product, or content designers. 

The Broadband team aims to help customers compare and be matched with their home’s best internet option in the most simple and accurate way possible. The content we write, and the products we design, include location-based broadband information, streamlined connections to potential providers, plan comparisons and more. This role calls for a passionate leader who is highly skilled in design thinking, user-centered design processes, and interface design.

The right candidate for this role will be highly-organized and collaborative; with a passion for solving problems cross-functionally. But you won’t do it alone — you’ll work cross-functionally with a team of designers, engineers, and product managers to support you. 

What You'll Do:

• Deliver highly-polished visual designs and extend existing design systems
• Think systematically to optimize UX/UI patterns for ease of use, following design system guidelines
• Develop subject-matter expertise, understand user problems, business goals, how competitors solve them, and where gaps exist
• Partner with product managers, engineers, researchers, content design to oversee the experience from concept to launch
• Effectively balance user needs and business goals
• Assist and support teammates through collaboration, critique and feedback
• Build prototypes to validate your designs, then iterate and innovate based on data and findings.
• Be autonomous, crave accountability and take responsibility for every detail, every step of the way
• Manage and mentor creatives and share your insights and experience in critique sessions
• Balance project execution and management responsibilities

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years designing consumer-focused tech across various platforms (web, mobile, apps, etc) 
• 1+ years of experience managing a designer, or multiple designers
• A track record of success working directly and managing teams that deliver user value and business results
• You have a killer portfolio that demonstrates a highly-polished visual design sense, a clean command over interaction design, typography and usability, as well as creative strategy
• You’re fluent in Figma, prototyping, and working with design systems
• You’re a strong communicator and collaborator who is inspired to deliver great work and bring a strategy to life
• You are always looking to grow your abilities through feedback and collaboration
• You are proactive with strong time-management skills, taking initiative for what needs to be done rather than waiting for instructions
• You enjoy staying flexible and adaptable in a fast-changing environment
• You deftly juggle multiple projects, setting stakeholder expectations, working individually and collaboratively across teams 
• You  can effectively lead workshops and facilitate collaboration across disciplines including senior leadership
• You love what you do, try to have fun every day and have a great sense of humor
  
  

Even Better:

• Have some level of utility / home services industry knowledge (internet, electricity, digital entertainment, HVAC, smart tech)
• Understand the utility needs and purchase lifecycle of a homeowner, or renter
• Have animation and branding experience
• Familiarity with SEO best practices
• Experience with usability testing platforms like userlytics.com
