Our client, SYPartners, is a top tier consultancy that works with CEOs and senior business leaders to design their future. SYPartners is undergoing an expansion in their interaction design department based in their New York City office under the innovative and talented leadership of Brian Goldston. \u00a0\u00a0In addition to the core consulting work for which SYPartners is known, Brian is leading an initiative to develop a unique set of digital applications across mobile, tablets, desktops and physical+digital environments that are deeply human, radically simple, and lead people to see, believe, think, and act differently.<\/p>\n

We need a strong interaction designer who can design human-centered experiences. This role encompasses research, developing specifications, personas, use cases, workflow diagrams , wireframes, product design and prototyping. [please see job description attached below]<\/p>\n

We also need a talented visual interaction designer who can focus on designing visually arresting, emotionally compelling experiences across all interfaces, mobile, web, desktop, environments and other emerging platforms. [please see job description attached below]<\/p>\n

These positions are open to intelligent, collaborative and talented designers who are passionate about helping businesses and individuals experience transformative change. \u00a0This firm is of the highest integrity. The offices in New York are newly built, state of the art and beautiful. I have attached images of the offices as well as a few select samples. \u00a0Additionally the link to company website is:http:\/\/www.sypartners.com\/website.html<\/a><\/p>\n

THE OPPORTUNITY<\/p>\n

We are looking for exceptional interaction designers. \u00a0Activities will include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Designing mobile, web, desktop-based applications, and digital+physical environments (research, personas, storyboards, workflow diagrams, wireframes, design specifications)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Creating a uniquely-SYP interaction pattern library for apps and digital environments (codified visual and interaction patterns that are not your usual menus, lists, buttons, or UI elements)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Advancing the art and science of engagement at scale (research, prototypes, strategies and design principles for intimate, human, meaningful engagement with a potentially massive number of participants who are distributed)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Developing products that help people see, believe, think, and act differently (product strategy\/concepts, prototypes, final products)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Exploring the ability of digital tools and technology to transform businesses, brands, and culture<\/p>\n

Help design and build (to name a few):<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gesture-based apps (iPad and other tablets, interactive walls, etc.) that activate group participation (in a meeting, large scale event, and beyond) and help people work collaboratively in strategically focused ways<\/p>\n

\u2022 Highly visual, intuitive, delightful digital tools that help people learn through doing (experiential learning)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Digital games that deeply engage our clients\u2014and their employees and customers\u2014in an idea or initiative<\/p>\n

\u2022 A modular system of rich-media experiences and tools to help clients tell their brand story<\/p>\n

\u2022 Powerful, immersive, integrated digital+physical environments that change how our clients think, invoke debate, and tell stories<\/p>\n

Interaction Designer<\/p>\n

The Interaction Designer creates meaningful relationships between\u00a0people\u2014and the digital tools they use\u2014through thoughtful\u00a0consideration of motivations, use cases, workflows, storyboards,\u00a0wireframes, design specifications, and prototypes.<\/p>\n

The Interaction Designer designs simple, human-centered experiences\u00a0ranging from mobile, web, and desktop applications to digital+physical\u00a0environments. \u00a0You passionately pursue the art and science of\u00a0engagement\u2014exploring the motivations and interactions that lead us to\u00a0see, believe, think, and act differently, defining the fundamental design\u00a0principles and patterns of meaningful engagement at scale (large\u00a0numbers of people), and designing the tangible expression of these\u00a0principles in workflows, interfaces, and experiences.<\/p>\n

You bring a deep understanding of technology (i.e. HTML5\/CSS3,\u00a0javascript) and what can be done with it\u2014and you have a creative\u00a0vision and aspiration for what it could do, if pushed. \u00a0You employ\u00a0tried-and-true techniques (i.e. rich media storytelling) and emergent\u00a0ones (i.e. game mechanics) to create emotional connections and deeper\u00a0participation.<\/p>\n

You understand that true innovation does not always come from\u00a0focus groups, ethnographic research, and user feedback. \u00a0As Henry\u00a0Ford said, \u201cIf I had asked people what they wanted, they would have\u00a0said faster horses.\u201d So you rely on your experience, expertise, and\u00a0intuition to imagine entirely new models of interactions which you then\u00a0prototype, refine, and improve through user testing and agile design.<\/p>\n

You are continually asking\u2014and answering\u2014the question, \u201cWhat\u00a0does an SYP application uniquely behave and perform like?\u201d<\/p>\n

You have deep empathy and aspiration for those you design for\u2014and\u00a0those you design with. \u00a0You are highly collaborative, working side-byside with other designers, strategists, developers, production artists,\u00a0and project managers.<\/p>\n

Responsibilities<\/p>\n

_ Research and develop solutions for the mobile, web, desktop, environments,\u00a0and other emerging platforms.<\/p>\n

_ Design projects that connect the potential of emerging technologies.<\/p>\n

_ Create user requirements specifications, personas, use cases, workflow\u00a0diagrams, wireframes, storyboards, and design prototypes.<\/p>\n

_ Build a uniquely-SYP interaction pattern library and design guidelines.<\/p>\n

_ Communicate research findings, conceptual ideas, technical concepts,\u00a0detailed design, and design with clarity and coherence.<\/p>\n

_ Prototype low and high fidelity concepts\u2014from paper-based to interactive.\u00a0Ideally with an ability to prototype and think directly in a technology (i.e.\u00a0HTML5\/CSS3).<\/p>\n

_ Work closely with development teams\u2014 from prototypes to packaged\u00a0products\u2014to ensure that design specifications are implemented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
