UX/UI Designer - Senior
Channel 21 – ATB Financial
“Want to grow as a designer? Spend most of your time thinking about how it works, as opposed to how it looks.”
— Josh Puckett
While creativity is about thinking differently, it’s also about doing and sharing what you do. As the Senior UX/UI Designer at ATB’s internal award-winning agency, Channel 21, we’re looking for a self-motivated designer who can think, collaborate and do, someone who’s the whole creative package; someone with a zest for conceptualizing, an aptitude for the tools of the trade.
The Sr. UX/UI Designer is responsible for creating the UI/interface build-outs. Responsibilities include wireframing and storyboarding, functional and non-functional prototypes, presenting (telling the Story & describing the behaviours) and documentation. This role maintains and provides ongoing UX/UI design methodology and support consultation of any or all of ATB's web properties.
You’re an integral part of a larger team that includes everything from junior and senior designers, art directors, copywriters, animators, videographers and external resources. There’s some great thinking—and creating—to do here, and some amazing projects to be involved in. You game?
