About The Position

Our Associate Director Content Strategists drive the content architecture of digital products and services that people love to use. At Digitas, we do CS a little differently. Our UX Content Strategists are an integral part of our Design team. Their backgrounds run the gamut from UX to publishing, startup to agency. They empathize and solve users' problems, they are well-versed in modern digital experiences, and they are driven by delivering—and supporting—the best possible solution. They are collaborators who lead multidisciplinary teams to set and drive a vision forward, and they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty making things.

Requirements

• Demonstrable understanding of UX content strategy for digital products, content platforms, and branded experiences
• Clear understanding of how content and design work together
• Complete comfort ideating, sketching, and riffing with your team
• The ability to execute, organize, and defend the work
• A fanatical obsession with the quality of work that gets delivered
• Enough development, research, and process experience to be dangerous
• Informed opinions
• A creative skill I wouldn't have thought to list here
• A portfolio of relevant work: It should showcase your experience in the design process, creating XD content, and solving real user problems through words

• Experience translating data into strategic recommendations
• Understanding of user-centric design and product development best practices
• Awareness of the latest XD, technology, and content trends
