We are an organization of talented, dedicated individuals delivering high-quality software to the public sector and non-profit worlds, improving the lives of citizens and helping government and non-profit agencies achieve their missions.Â
You are a dedicated, proven creative leader who enjoys rolling up your sleeves and brings strategic, organized thinking to creative challenges.

- Represent the company in client meetings and presentations including for business development opportunities.
- Contribute to design strategies for client projects as well as design operations and continuous improvement of design services for the organization.
- Participate with the rest of the management team to provide strategy and leadership to the organization.
The successful candidate will bring:
- Leadership experience and a willingness to get in the weeds.
- A demonstrated understanding of design for digital experiences including responsive websites, web applications and mobile applications, and the best ways to leverage creative skills for problem solving.
- Collaborative, low-ego approach to working with multidisciplinary teams composed of UX and UI Designers, Project Managers, Software Developers and QA Engineers.
- Interest and willingness to work with external clients, including the ability to present, describe, advocate and respond flexibly to feedback.
- Experience helping customers establish brand identity as well as creating UI strategies that compliment and enhance existing brand identities.
- Portfolio artifacts covering a wide array of application types and deliverables including complete style guides, high-fidelity mock-ups and clickable prototypes.
- Expert fluency with Sketch.
- Experience working with the public sector preferred.Â
- Experience operating in an agile setting preferred.
