We are developing a novel online financial service for a market of 50M US households. This service will have a "double bottom line" in that it will seek to help people with one of their most vexing financial problems but make a profit while doing so.
We are currently developing an alpha product to serve as proof of concept, and are looking for the right person to handle all the design elements. The ideal person will have experience designing consumer-facing online applications – taking something inherently complex and conceptual, and making it both elegant and simple. The work is currently scoped as a consulting project, with an expectation of 40 hrs per week for the first 3 months. If its a great fit we’d love to have you join our team on a full-time basis.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience: from system-wide interactive interfaces to the smallest of production graphics
- A strong online portfolio demonstrating your skills
- Knowledge of CSS/XHTML/HTML. Familiar with Ajax and at least some familiarity interfacing with web technologies (e.g. PHP/Ruby/JSP/or equivalent)
- Experience working closely with both software and product teams
- An interest in financial services technologies and online community .. specifically how to engage users.
- Ability to translate strategic, user-experience, and technical project requirements into information architecture and schematics, and then translate those into design.
- An appreciation of usability, functionality, innovation, and elegant solutions, with a great sense of typography.
Interested? Please send an online portfolio/work examples with your resume.
