Job description

Position Summary
We're looking for a Sr. Product Designer with UX focus to join our talented design team.
Does the thought of creating the next generation products for The Weather Channel's 260
million users around the globe get you excited? Do you think weather is so much more than just
a conversation starter? Do you have the curiosity of a scientist and the passion of an artist, and
are you a creative problem solver, a craftsman, a delight to work with?
If this sounds like you, then read on!
As a Sr. Product Designer, you'll be involved in every aspect of the product creation process,
from workshopping the next great innovation to tweaking pixels before launch (and beyond).
You'll utilize your range of ux design, interaction design, and visual design skills, and you'll
collaborate with other smart folks on the evolution of our flagship native apps.
At TWC we use science, data, machine learning and user-driven insights to guide our work, but
we also believe in a healthy dose of inspired storytelling as we strive to transform the landscape
of weather products.
Your day-to-day is never the same: Fast paced, often fun and never boring.
What you'll do:
