Who you are
You are a person who thinks big at the system level and has worked extensively using customer insights to inform and personalise user experience in customer-facing retail, whether that's in automotive or in another customer-focused retail industry like luxury consumer goods, travel and hospitality, on-demand services, or other relevant fields in which customers are equally interacting with a brand through both online channels and brick-and-mortar stores and face-to-face conversations. You will continue to deepen their relationship with the brand post-purchase through various ownership journeys around the globe.

We expect that you’ve been in UX Design for about eight years applying strong UX fundamentals and user-centered design practices to deliver consumer-focused technology for complex organizations within large markets. As a result, you understand all aspects of product architecture, interaction and visual design, and UX research. You’re a strong communicator and collaborator with design partners and other stakeholders from teams such as product, operations, and engineering.

Additionaly, you probably have many of the following qualities:
* Service and customer engagement experience within UX, including understanding multiple channels (phone, chat, etc.) where customers may engage with a brand.
* The ability to create a logical, consistent, and elegant structure from messy complexity, and to transition to a scalable set of global systems.
* Experience working with mature design systems.
* Experience understanding and designing for web, mobile, and physical environments like stores and cars.
* Three or more years of project leadership involving complex projects.
* A portfolio (or work samples) of relevant past projects.

Experience with global retail, customer lifecycles, luxury brands and assets, and managing very large CRM platforms such as Salesforce and multi-channel ticketing tools would be a plus.
