This position will work closely with business owners and developers to articulate product vision, wireframe concepts, diagram workflow, shape informational hierarchies, design interaction models, and shepherd products through design and development.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0 Stay current with advancements in interactive technology and competitive or complimentary products, and advocate for the appropriate application of those advancements in our own products.<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0 Identify and create opportunities for user feedback in the development of new and existing features.<\/p>\n
