Project Manager for UX research and web design company
We’re looking for a project manager to join our crew.
Company Overview
There are millions of web design companies, but we’re nothing like ‘em. First off, we design websites just for credit unions. And beyond that, we make credit union website design a science.
We work with credit unions all across the US. By conducting user experience (UX) research for them, we learn what helps them get more members and borrowers. For example, through a/b testing, we’ve helped Zing Credit Union double the number of premium checking accounts they get through their website. Bloom baby!
Many of the websites we’ve designed have won recognition from the Credit Union Nation Association, the Marketing Association of Credit Unions, The Financial Brand, Credit Union Times, the Credit Union Executives Society, and others. We have a reputation for designing beautiful websites that feature intelligent technologies (such as personalization and chatbots) and then optimizing those sites continuously to grow loans, deposits, and membership.
Our Immutable Laws
Seek the truth. Not all ideas are good and not all beliefs are true. That’s why we seek the truth. We believe science is one of the best tools we have to find the truth about what actually converts website visitors into members and borrowers.
Rather than asking, “What do our clients want?” we ask, “How should things be?” We strive for what’s actually best, not just consensus. We test, rather than guess. And we subscribe to a higher standard where ideas must be proven. In short, we seek the truth.
Be honest. We believe in being honest. Trust is the basis of all good relationships and we don’t like dishonesty.
Be positive. We believe in focusing more on the positive than the negative. The truth is, we all have bad days and need to vent sometimes. And we all need a healthy dose of constructive criticism once in a while. But overall, we believe there is more power in looking on the bright side. So, we try to accentuate the positive.
No jerks allowed. A jerk is someone who doesn’t control their emotions and treats other people with disrespect. Everyone acts like a jerk once in a while, but some people make it habitual, and we don’t like working with them. We believe in being nice, communicating respectfully, and saying sorry when needed.
