Squidoo
Our mission is to run an open, free platform that gives people a simple way to organize their interests online – and bring more human, curated, original content to the web. We make it easy for writers of all stripes to create portfolios of beautiful webpages, each one about a single thing or story or opinion that they know and love. As a bonus, when one of their pages does well, it earns a royalty for the writer or for charity.
 
 
Job Description
Squidoo is hiring someone to lead our work in look-and-feel, conversion, yield, interaction design and social theory. This person will work closely with engineering and project management to create, test, tweak and launch new ways for our users to interact with us and with each other.

Squidoo is one of the fifty largest websites in the United States, with a tiny, dedicated team supporting more than 3 million registered users. We're profitable, growing and consistently raising the bar.

If you like corporate doublespeak, here's what a similar job at Microsoft sounds like, "As the UX Manager for the ...team you will be responsible for the information architecture of our user experience and responsible for driving the medium to long-term product strategy for our user experience and research team. Ideally you will have a deep design background coupled with proven technical aptitude who can prioritize efficiently to ensure we engineer and launch all products with the highest UX quality and customer feedback and input. This role leads our UX design and research team working closely with Program Management & Development teams, internal Microsoft publishers, agencies, advertisers and consumers."

Like that but without the junk, doublespeak, wasted meetings and bureaucracy...

The job will involve managing outside firms as well as clearly and patiently articulating a vision for how our platform develops.

This is a full-time position, either open-ended or contract. It requires significant (perhaps full-) time in our New York and Virginia offices. Excellent pay, benefits and work environment.
