We are looking for kickass user experience (UX) designers who are oozing with curiosity but can still fit their head in the door. You will be creating and supporting solutions for Blizzard.com, Battle.net, and our new Battle.net desktop app, which includes everything from e-commerce, to account sign-up and management, to community, to supporting our games. Although we move fast sometimes, we believe in quality and strive to create solid strategies based in user-center design principles. We are not an execution-only team stuck in a large organization, therefore this opportunity will favor designers who can take ownership, think globally, and foster an entrepreneurial spirit in support of our users. As a senior UX designer, you will be directly involved in setting the product strategy and vision, which means the ability to present ideas and educate others is just as important as your wireframes.

Responsibilities

• Understand what our users are doing and why – Analytics, competitive analysis, interviews, A / B testing, and research support.
• Define problems and opportunities – Combine analysis of our user with business needs to form stories and plan solutions.
• Create and show solutions – Strategy, wireframes, flowcharts, prototypes, feature matrices, designs, and bears (oh my!).
• Iterate based on “validated learning” – More flowcharts, wires, and designs – often in collaboration with the research team.
• Deliver and follow through – Launch ideas (e.g. final wires, detailed flows, error states, etc.) and assist in post launch analysis with our analytics and research team.

Requirements

• Serious passion for user-centered design
• Both a conceptual thinker and a detailed designer
• Knows the difference between a project goal and a requirement
• A minimum of 10 years’ experience as a UX designer, information architect, visual designer, interaction designer, or similar
• Experience training and mentoring other designers
• Experience and examples creating websites, software applications, interactive spaces, games and/or mobile applications
• Examples of highly detailed wireframes and designs
• Examples of easily digestible story-based solutions
• Examples of both quant and qual based decision making
• Can prototype your ideas – whether high or low fidelity using the Adobe Suite, HTML, and / or Axure
• Understands that not everything you do will be a conceptual project
• Laid back, but can unleash the fire in your belly to get things done           
• Loves puppies

Required Application Materials

• Resume
• URL or PDF of your portfolio
• Cover Letter

**Only submittals with all three will be considered.

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and its affiliated companies is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
