Senior Interaction (UX) Designer – Long Term Contract

The Library Corporation’s Denver Office is looking for a Lead Interaction Designer who will guide our efforts to create, concept and design new ways for our customers in the library industry to interact with the basic functionality of our enterprise software.

We work quickly, nimbly, and collaboratively. We are an Agile/LeanUX team, but we will be looking for your experience creating high quality and high fidelity wireframes, flow diagrams, and potentially visual designs. You thrive concepting with a team, using sketches and wireframes as conversation starters to explore possible solutions. You must bring your top-notch interaction design, information architecture, and user research skills as well your opinion.

Most importantly, bring your passion.

The Skinny:

  • Develop a deep, empathetic understanding of our customers
  • Create iterative, lightweight prototypes to concept solutions
  • Be a leader within cross-functional teams to balance user needs and complex business rules
  • Design elegant, efficient and sophisticated solutions
  • Prototype, Usability Test, and then Prototype some more
  • Be able to defend your design decisions with well-structured arguments
  • Thrive in an open and transparent environment

The Specs:

  • 5-10 years experience as an information architect, interaction designer, and user experience designer
  • Thorough understanding of design principles
  • No fear of speaking with customers (we do that a lot)
  • Usability testing – you’ve done it, you love it, you want more of it
  • Love of data. We have tons of it. Use it wisely.
  • Proof (we’ll ask you to demo it) of taking an idea from concept to implementation.
  • Be able to speak to your work clearly and succinctly (we value brevity)

**Note: This is not a graphic design role nor a front-end coding role but should you bring those skills along with solid IA/IxD chops, that’s just more of you to love.**

 Who we are:

  • We make software for libraries. We think this is important work, and we’re proud to be contributing something of use to the world.
  • We’re re-imagining our application suite on the web and on mobile devices and we’re looking for people with the capabilities, creativity, and vision to make this transition truly outstanding.
  • We’re a 40 year old company, but we know that to stay innovative, we need to know when it’s time to think and act like a startup.
  • We’re on the cutting edge of Lean, Lean Startup and Lean UX. Sometimes it bleeds. We’re investing in new ways of working.
  • We have offices in NYC, WV, Denver, and Singapore

We are an equal opportunity employer offering competitive salaries and benefits and a congenial work environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.

Visual Interaction Designer

New York office

The Library Corporation is seeking a Visual Interaction Designer to craft beautiful experiences.  You are a Designer with a capital “D.” That means you like the whole process, idea to pixel, and what you design is more important than what you say about design. You are inspired by the philosophy of the Bauhaus; good typography inspires you; bad kerning makes you mad. Really mad.

This is us:

  • We make software for libraries. We think this is important work, and we’re proud to be contributing something of use to the world.
  • We’re a 40 year old company, but we know that to stay innovative, we need to know when it’s time to think and act like a startup.
  • We’re on the cutting edge of lean, Lean Startup and Lean UX. Sometimes it bleeds. We’re trying to invest in new ways of working.
  • We’ve only really just started to get serious about UX and Design. We hired one of the leading lights in UX, Will Evans (@semanticwill) to help us on this path. We’re so serious that we’re organizing leanuxnyc, an amazing conference full of amazing speakers in April.
  • We work in highly autonomous teams. Whenever we can, we let you have a say in who you work with and what you work on.
  • We’ll give you whatever tablet and computer you want.
  • We’ll encourage you to write blog posts about what you learn and accomplish, and we’ll give you outlets on other blogs and opportunities to speak at conferences and meetups, if that’s your kind of thing.
  • We have offices in NYC, WV, Denver and Singapore.
  • Our office in NYC is at Alley NYC, a startup coworking space. You’ll meet amazing people doing really cool things for tons of startups, big and small.


This is you:

  • Serious visual, graphic, branding, print and interaction design experience
  • You may have spent time in an agency, but are seeking redemption
  • You have run collaborative ideation sessions or design workshops
  • Strong conceptual thinking — both visual and interactive
  • You love your craft
  • Tools are tools, and you have solid chops to get the job done
  • You want to try working in a totally new way; one with great freedom & responsibility
  • You are part of the design community and believe that you should give more than you take
  • You may have attended a traditional design school, but that hasn’t killed your spirit. A school like SVA, Pratt, Parsons or SCAD

We are an equal opportunity employer offering competitive salaries and benefits and a congenial work environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran. If you have the personal and professional skills for this position and want to work in a rapidly growing enterprise that uses the latest technology, we invite you to send us your resume and salary requirements.
