The global RingCentral User Experience team is based at RingCentral HQ in Belmont, CA. We work closely with local Product and Engineering teams and remote development centers in Odessa, Ukraine, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Xiamen, China.

The Sr. Creative Director, User Experience, reports to the Chief Design Officer and is a key member of the UX Leadership Team, working closely with the Sr./Directors of Interaction and Product Design, Research, Content Strategy, and Design Operations. The Sr. Creative Director guides visual design across our entire suite of enterprise and end-user web/desktop and mobile products and is responsible for the vision and execution of all work created by our visual designers. This is both a visionary and a managerial role. A clear vision for a visual system, developed in collaboration with our Marketing and Branding creative teams ensures a world-class app presence. 

Managing a growing, global, team of visual designers (currently 4-6 people) ensures that we can execute the vision.

You work equally well with designers, executives, and engineers, understanding the symbiosis that exists among the teams. You adapt well to changing priorities and different flavors of projects, from forward-thinking initiatives to clearly defined projects that move fast and are quick wins for the team. You have a passion for design and innovation and understand that culture is the foundation of success in UX.

You must be able to lead multiple projects, with hands-on guidance, engaging at all levels of the organization from individual contributors to executive staff.

• Balance large projects with requests for rapid ideation and design exploration.

• Meet with upper management to explain strategies and solutions

• Hire, manage, and cultivate the career development of visual design team members in multiple geographies.

• Review work, coach, guide, and grow a team.

• Drive timelines, coordinate resources, and communicate constantly for alignment and transparency within a cross-functional team

• Act as a key liaison with the global engineering teams responsible for the implementation of the designs

• Plan and facilitate collaboration and design activities with UX and cross-functional teams (e.g. brainstorms, design sprints, workshops)

• 15+ years of experience as a design practitioner (visual designer, interaction designer) on both consumer and enterprise applications.
