HomeAdvisor - UX Designer

You've been in the UX field for a couple years now. Your passion is creating great user experiences through user-centered design. You thrive in a cross-functional group of creative, driven, smart professionals who strive to be experts in their field. You understand that a great user experience leads to better brand recognition and repeat customers.

You're the newest member of HomeAdvisor's UX Design team.

Our UX Designers:
-    Formulate, establish, and annotate the navigation, functionality, organizational structure and page-to-page flows of our user experience at HomeAdvisor.com and through our affiliated sites and mobile applications.
-    Collaborate with business partners, graphic designers and developers to define the functionality and navigation solutions for various HomeAdvisor products
-    Work with internal and external constituents as the primary point of contact responsible for driving major UX projects from conception to implementation
-    Conduct user research, including concept testing and usability testing
-    Stay abreast of advances in user interface (both technical and experiential) and look for ways to appropriately integrate these advances into HomeAdvisor products
-    Communicate designs through fully documented wireframes and prototypes
-    Express user experience best practices across the company, and mentor colleagues and staff on best-in-class usability concepts

Why we think it's pretty cool to work here:
-    We're one of Denver's largest internet brands, and our parent company, InterActiveCorp (IAC), is one of Fortune's Most Admired Companies. Our sister brands include Match.com, CityGrid, Vimeo, CollegeHumor, and Ask.com, among others.
-    What you contribute to our business every day is far more important to us than what time you came to the office this morning or what you're wearing. We focus on your productivity – if you need 5 minutes to play some ping-pong because it helps you get more done, then by all means, grab a paddle.
-    We want you to grow – what technology do you want to work with? What responsibilities do you want? You ask, and we'll let you play.
-    At HomeAdvisor, we have a progressive "take what you need" paid time-off policy. Instead of accruing vacation and/or sick time, you literally take the time you need to recharge (any reasonable amount of time per year where both your manager can live without you and you're able to get your work done).

What you need to be successful:
-    At least 2 years experience in user experience design with expertise in interaction design, information architecture, usability engineering, or all three; consulting or agency background a plus
-    Hands-on experience creating site maps, process flows and wireframes for high traffic consumer sites
-    Ability to communicate effectively in visual, written and interactive form: design documents, flow charts, prototypes, etc.
-    Desire to deal with business issues, thinking beyond design
-    Ability to articulate strategic issues while balancing these with user needs and technological constraints
-    Experience working in small collaborative teams, including working constructively with development teams

HomeAdvisor is a fast-paced yet laid-back place full of passionate, dedicated people. You know you want to check us out. Send us your resume, and we'll go from there.
