UX Designer

Looking for mid to senior individual who is able to face off to leaders and stakeholders and help us whiteboard product ideas and facilitate workshops; equally someone who can also sit and do information architecture, interaction design, and other UX research activities. We are a small group, for now, so we need people who are good at explaining to others what is UX and what value do we bring, and also someone who can sit with an engineer and explain why we are using this or that color, and why it's off by 10 pixes.
State Street is not a startup, but the people this individual will be working with are entrepreneurial and very senior financial services veterans who are good people and enjoyable to work with.
