User Experience Designer
Sprint Nextel Corporation
Overland Park, KS, USA

The Goal

To create a satisfying, efficient, and even delightful shopping experience for customers as they learn about and purchase Sprint Nextel products and services.

What is the scope of our work?

If you are only interested in doing web design work, stop reading here. Our work encompasses designing RFID implementations in the retail environment, desktop applications for retail and telesales employees, purchasing with and on a mobile phone, voice interface design, and, yes, the design of the sprint.com shopping and purchasing space.

How do we do it?

Through a systematic user-centered design process. We put talented, motivated designers together with a business owner who has a problem to solve. Ensure they have ample resources to learn about the needs, behaviors, and goals of the end-users and/or customers. Allow them to design, test, and iterate until they have a design that meets or exceeds customer expectations, and meets the needs of the business. Of course, we have a rigorous process for measuring how well our design meets those expectations. Come in for an interview, we'll tell you more about it.
