Experience Design Director (UI/ UX)

As the Experience Design Director, you are a high-performing leader for the studio, working closely with other discipline leaders to guide teams and ensure that our work is true to AKQA's mission and values: thoughtful, innovative, high quality, and in service of our clients and their customers. Your role involves being an advocate for design, championing design processes and techniques across our work; demonstrating a strong sense of craft and deep expertise in digital design, assuming design custodianship for clients; fearlessly telling clients things they may know, but are afraid to hear; acting as an escalation point for the UX and Design teams across multiple projects/accounts; nurturing, and guiding project teams and direct reports; and, collaborating with interdisciplinary project teams to create innovative solutions. As the senior most creative leader for the studio, you will represent AKQA India's design capabilities, be the face for the design and creative community and will be responsible for driving growth for the creative practice. You have world-class design craft of the highest caliber and the ability to be a truly hands-on leader—someone who sets the standard through your own practice, while mentoring and inspiring teams to deliver their very best work. As part of the Design Leadership Team at AKQA, the Experience Design Director also provides compelling thought leadership internally and externally, is a champion of AKQA, takes an active role in demonstrating its values and its services, influences key client stakeholder relationships and influences AKQA's overall vision, product, strategy, brand and culture.
