Who we’re looking for:

You have 1-4 years of applicable design experience
You are an actual digital product designer e.g. you move pixels around with precision and have a portfolio that demonstrates it (no offense to you user researchers, we value you too -- just not for this role)
You enjoy learning about new industries and are a quick study
You are looking for opportunities to help brands define their brand's character
You are a solid visual and interaction designer with the appetite to learn or improve your skills for translating user research insights into actionable strategy
You enjoy creating modular, scalable wireframes and mockups that creatively apply consistent interface patterns across a variety of use cases and device types
You can design using Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Principle and can adapt to new tools as they become available
You can collaborate using Mural, Invision, Zeplin.io
You know transactional data and what to do with it, thus you eat data visualization for lunch
You like reducing the friction between the end user and their goals by pushing the limits of artificial intelligence
You have a keen sense of motion design, 3D, and frontend technologies; or you want to learn
You love to combine empathy with design to create usable experiences
You are up for the challenge to chart new markets and invent new industries
You come with experience, but want to learn new methodologies; can share and collaborate with others on UX/UI guidelines and design patterns
Your critical thinking skills are a strong attribute which helps you work through abstract and complex processes
You understand that working at an agency gives you a wide perspective of many industries, processes, budget constraints, timelines, and unique customer needs
You have an appetite to learn from your peers and share your knowledge
You have the ability to clearly express yourself and defend what you create, how it drives your process, and most importantly why is it effective.
You enjoy working with others, collaborating with your team and customers, and understand that there is no I in Momentum

You want to collaborate in-person with your teammates once the pandemic quiets down and will be able to rejoin us back in the office in our Flatiron, Manhattan office sometime after July 2021 or whenever the industry starts to trend in that direction. Additionally, you may travel to our London or Silicon Valley offices.

Bootcamp/Immersive/Career Accelerator Certificate Holders: In addition to your certification, you will also need to have a background in cognitive science or applied arts via career or education prior to attending to qualify for this role or you will need to have worked over a year with an employer since graduating. Resumes or cover letters without a portfolio will be skipped over.
