Design Lead Job
ZURB (www.zurb.com/talent) is looking for a Design Lead to work with our design strategy team. We’re a close-knit team that helps companies design better websites, services, and products online. We’ve been around over 10 years and have over 75 start-ups in our client roster. Our clients range from large, well-known companies that we’ve helped for years (e.g., Photobucket, Zazzle, Playlist.com, the New York Stock Exchange) to brand-new start-ups just finding their feet (Qik, TinyPic). They all came to us based on our reputation of delivering killer ideas that work.
What skills do we need?
As a Design Lead, here are some of the skills you'll need to have:
- Proven Leadership – experience managing projects, deadlines, etc.
- Client Interaction – comfort level presenting your work to clients and working off of feedback
- Business Logic – understanding business goals and user needs to effectively craft designs that make these things sing, we need someone with major business chops
- Visual Design - illustrations, icons, compelling visual elemens, etc.
- User Interface/Experience Design - wire-framing, weighting elements, boxes and arrows, flow, great common sense
- Front-End Development - XHTML/CSS/Javascript, web standards, frameworks like Prototype.js or MooTools would be cool. Experience integrating with Rails would be great.
- Words - clear explanations, compelling writing, and the occasional clever or funny e-mail
This position is available immediately, pays competitively and is full-time. You'll be working in our offices in downtown Campbell, where we have parking spaces, a Wii and a good attitude. We're a creative, fun-loving, hard-working team and if you thrive on the energy (read: chaos) of a start-up environment, you'll like ZURB.
Are You In?
If you'd like to be the next ZURBian to join the team, just shoot us an email to jobs@zurb.com and be sure to include the following:
- A catchy subject line
- Your top 3 skills
- Your best teamwork tactic
- Your URL
- Your resume
- Why you want to work at ZURB
Need a reason?
We pride ourselves on having a strong culture and positive atmosphere. We've got 17 reasons to back that up:
- Food. We stock the cabinets with food. Yeah, most of it's full of sugar, but we try to throw in some healthy snacks. Cup o' noodles is still a weakness for some of us though.
- 401k plan. All you have to do is say how much and we do the rest.
- Health insurance. 100% coverage.
- And eye care. We also take care of those eyes.
- And teeth too. We have dental coverage. Got to impress those clients :)
- Cell phone coverage. Can you hear us now?
- Profit sharing. We're a team of entrepreneurial-thinking workers. It's important to us that everyone see the benefits of their hard work.
- Free dry cleaning. Hate dressing up? We've taken the hard work out of putting on the snazzy dress shirt or blouse.
- Free house cleaning. Yep, we think getting stuff done at home is just as important as getting stuff done in the office.
- A growing library. Need a book? Just put it on the wish list and it will be added to the ZURB library.
- 3 weeks vacation. And all those common holidays too. Work hard, play hard.
- Lunches. Now and then we like to order sushi, and if you're working late we don't mind chipping in for dinner.
- Start-ups. Some people go work for start-ups. At ZURB you get to help start start-ups.
- Challenging work. We believe that everyone has a brain to think—we make you use every last brain cell.
- Flex-time. Hey, things come up now and then. What's dental coverage when you don't have time to get those teeth drilled?
- A great team. It's fun to work on great projects, but it's even better to learn something new from a team member.
- A fun work environment. You see this on other company websites, but we are really committed to making work fun.
