Job Location : New York,NY, USA
Constructive, a leading social impact strategy and design firm is looking for a new Design Director with deep expertise in UX design for content-rich websites, a skilled eye for visual design, and strong people management skills.
Constructive is a close-knit, committed team of experts who partner with visionary organizations to create greater understanding about the world and help make it a more fair, equitable, and sustainable place. Our culture is built on values that are essential to who we are and how we show up—deeply held beliefs about the importance of empathy, accountability, teamwork, and respect that we look for in everyone who joins our team. If the above sounds a lot like you and you're passionate about producing great work for purpose-led brands, then please read on.
About the Role
Please note, this is not a product design role. Our work is overwhelmingly branding and website design, with our Founder/Creative Director overseeing the integration of the two. Constructive's Design Director leads our UX/visual design team and reports to our Founder & Creative Director to ensure that the work we co-create with clients is strategically sound, creatively inspired, and highly effective. We are looking for a designer who has extensive UX and interaction design experience in large-scale, content-rich websites and who, at a minimum, has a strong eye for visual design fundamentals and user interface design.
You'll manage and mentor our team of UX and visual designers to help them continuously create stand-out work. You'll listen to, learn from, and lead clients—facilitating design strategy, presenting work, and providing consultative guidance. You'll collaborate with Constructive's strategy, content, and engineering teams to ensure that what we produce delivers results.
You will also be a valuable member of Constructive's management team, collaborating with company leadership to shape our strategies and practices. And you'll get ongoing leadership coaching and support from our executive coach to build your leadership and management skills.
