The Information Architect is responsible for developing IA documentation (site maps, transaction flows, schematics, navigation models) for both web sites and applications. In this role, you will be expected to work collaboratively with a project team and support the Experience Lead or a Sr. IA in the execution of all information architecture deliverables. A firm understanding of user-centered design processes will be crucial to your success here. Ideal candidates will have a healthy sense of humor, and are ready to finally work in a place where they are no longer the smartest person in the room.
