Job Description

EA is seeking an experienced UX strategist to help develop personalized experiences across in-game menus,  email, web, and additional channels. In this role you will need to apply human-centered design techniques to establish and enhance the technical and non-technical requirements associated with players’ personalized messaging experiences.

The team focuses on leveraging behavioral and transactional data, as well as automation tools to deliver personalized messages, at scale; and strategically delivers enterprise-wide solutions that allow for cross-channel marketing automation to power new digital business models.

Responsibilities of this role include: 

• Lead the work to define, document and gain approval for personalized messaging use cases, using a useful, usable, and desirable framework to structure messaging experience
• Define and understand use cases and UX requirements, storyboard, create interaction flows, wireframes, mockups, interactive prototypes, and detailed specifications
• Gather available insights that help illuminate player needs, including but not limited to internal analysis, customer research, and third party content.
• Evaluate active programs, establish vision for personalized messaging experiences, and develop relationships with a broad set of stakeholders that have competing priorities
• Help define the information architecture, interface requirements, and interaction flow of in game, email, web and app notification personalized messaging experiences
• Facilitate brainstorming and work sessions with cross-disciplinary teams to move research findings into vision and design strategies
• Align and connect user experience efforts and visual design principles across products and projects
• Serve as a champion for design thinking and human-centered approaches, collaborating with internal experts and stakeholders helping to reduce friction across the player journey

   

Desired Skills and Experience 

• 5+ years of experience as a user experience designer, interaction designer, information architect, or similar design-related role, creating prototypes or wire-frames for complex web applications and/or workflows.
• 3+ years’ experience working in direct collaboration with product leaders, development managers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• A portfolio demonstrating samples of design deliverables (personas, journey maps, wireframes, and prototypes) 
• Fluency in best practices for information architecture and design, as well as strong knowledge of usability principles and techniques.
• Have a thorough understanding of contemporary design methodologies, enterprise software, and working with complex experiences
• Demonstrated history of acquiring user data (e.g., conducting usability studies, performing user research) and insights to drive discussion and decisions around personalized experiences
• Experience working with stakeholders to plan and execute programs that are strategic in nature
• Experience owning large-scale projects, communicating timelines, and executing independently
• Bachelor or Master's degree in design, human-computer interaction (HCI), or equivalent degree is a plus
