The senior interaction designer is a highly proficient craftsperson in their discipline. They dive into gnarly, ambiguous problem spaces and bring back processes, techniques, and a level of quality that sets the standard for the industry. The person in this role has applied experience with design methodologies with every aspect of the traditional discover, design, deliver process. This person is comfortable collaborating with other design and non-design disciplines.
This position will work in Teague’s Global Design Studio. GDS works in a wide array of industries and opportunity spaces—from gestural user interfaces for children to service design for government policies to operating systems for space stations and everything in between. We are a small and elite team, so GDS designers have deep design expertise as much as they have resilient breadth in order to meet the wide variety and deep complexity of our projects. Our job is to push boundaries every single day.
Teague lives by the quality of our designers. Without smart, dedicated, and imaginative creators, we’re simply not able to deliver on the wide array of spaces in which we work.
You are an experienced, solution-oriented designer that is constantly looking for challenges to broaden and deepen your skill set. You have proven, repeat, in-the-field experience wielding interaction design tools, processes, and techniques. Your solid grasp of craft means you can move through design processes quickly and can spot systemic issues and cascading impacts before they happen. You always have strong, clearly-articulated rationale for every design decision.
You’re a designer with strong chops in GUI design but have burgeoning experience—or at least passion toward—working beyond the screen. In keeping with Teague’s motto “thinking through making”, you have established a goto toolbelt of pencil-and-paper and software techniques for simulating experiences to test hypotheses, understand the user perspective, and persuade stakeholders. You think in systems and apply this skill to think strategically about opportunities, solutions, and impacts in terms of all stakeholders.
You are experienced running significant parts of qualitative research—even the more ambiguous, squishy, generative research that lives upstream of usability testing. You are calm and confident presenting and communicating your work to different audiences, because you know how to sequence and organize content to tell stories and unpack complex ideas.
As a senior interaction designer, you will exemplify that standard for what interaction design means at Teague. You will often lead the content on projects in your discipline as you collaborate closely with designers in other disciplines. On any given day, you may find yourself producing wireframes and flows at appropriate fidelity; leading design reviews with clients; planning and executing design research; producing simulations to demonstrate flow or nuanced interactions and motion; designing and running a design thinking workshop for clients; presenting new tools and processes to the studio; and documenting detailed design for communication to team, clients, and developers.
Generally speaking, we find people that have at least four years of experience and a degree in a field related to interaction design are good senior designer candidates. But, to be more specific, we are looking for someone who checks a lot of the following boxes at a highly proficient level.
