REQUIRED SKILLS

What will stand out in a portfolio:

Product designers who have demonstrated that they can sit with a client for a couple years and go very deep. Very exotic use cases. They see a lot of agency designers - will work for a client for 3-6 months. Will do all the things that you want to see but they don't go very deep. They show what's possible then move onto another client.

Big Data Analytics - someone who can sit with that team for a couple years, become SME's fall in love with the problems. Don't care about the visual bias as much as the ability to go very deep and the subtle nuance of very detailed edge cases. What happens if something happens with the trade. Evidence of working in complexity - simple solutions from complex problems. Want to see that they've worked on the login experience at Fidelity, big data dashboard. More complicated working tool. Less branded experiences. Solely focused on the end user. User centered process. Understanding the needs and the pain points, see through what people are saying to what they need.

Evidence of working with complexity is sufficient. Highly regulated area. If they have particular education in industrial design but haven't worked with complex designs then send them as well - banks love this.

One day a week - will not be on paper, may go to Boston once a quarter with all expenses paid.

UX Designer

We are a brand new design organization at state street focused on internal tooling, and client experience; we support marketing/informational sites too, but we are looking for product designers who love making simple solutions to complex problems: more big data, trading systems and post login experiences, less branded stuff.

Looking for mid to senior individual who is able to face off to leaders and stakeholders and help us whiteboard product ideas and facilitate workshops; equally someone who can also sit and do information architecture, interaction design, and other UX research activities. We are a small group, for now, so we need people who are good at explaining to others what is UX and what value do we bring, and also someone who can sit with an engineer and explain why we are using this or that color, and why it's off by 10 pixes.

State Street is not a startup, but the people this individual will be working with are entrepreneurial and very senior financial services veterans who are good people and enjoyable to work with.

Need someone who is open to jumping in contract to hire, but open to a mercenary who doesn't want to settle down.
