Who is Modea?

We are a technology consultancy working with healthcare marketing teams to dramatically improve and enhance the digital patient experience. We fundamentally believe that digital tools should provide better control, transparency, and choice for healthcare consumers. Finding a doctor should be as easy as comparing flights with Kayak, and booking an appointment should be as easy as hailing a car with Uber.

Here are a few ways to get to know our work:

Check out the Duke Health website. We designed and built the entire thing.
Find a location at Manatee Healthcare using this mobile app. We design and built the feature set and user experience.
Search for a doctor at the Carilion Clinic website. We recently helped them transform their site experience and digital tools like search and find-a-doc.

What does a Visual Designer do at Modea?

We tackle interesting projects on cross-functional teams made up of software engineers, designers (that’s you), project managers, strategists and analysts. These team members work very closely with each other and the client to design and build awesome, consumer web and mobile experiences. We conduct user research and establish ourselves as the expert on a project team when asked “What’s best for the customer?”

We're currently looking for a hardworking Visual Designer to design beautiful web and mobile user interfaces for some of our best clients. The right person for this role has multiple years of experience designing digital user interfaces for clients, is a great communicator, and understands how to design with a purpose. Ideally, they will also have a sincere interest in learning how to conduct and present UX research. This is a full-time position located at our headquarters in Blacksburg, VA.

Here are a few specific things we’d be looking for you to do:

Create exciting and effective visual designs: Once the UX research is done, it’s time to put pencil to paper (so to speak) to create high-quality designs that will help the end-user realize greater value from their web or mobile experience.
Support user experience research and testing: We want you to be connected to the designs you are producing and the goals those designs are working to accomplish. We're looking for someone who has some UX research experience, or at least a strong desire to learn. By getting involved in this work you’ll be able to interview live users of the client’s website or app, develop personas, and conduct research that provides a clear understanding of how design, site architecture, and content can have a positive impact on design.
Meet project goals and deadlines: We operate a robust project management practice that helps us stay organized and iterate our work to create client value faster. This involves being a part of regular meetings and collaborating with the rest of the team within two-week sprints.
Bring design best practices to the table: We’d consider you the design expert on each project and would be looking for you to ensure that design best practices are being followed at all times.

What are you looking for?

Here is a list of skills and qualities that are critical to this role:

Be a great listener and communicator (oral and written)
Be naturally curious and love problem-solving
Have experience creating visual designs on multiple, digital projects - ideally in a client-facing setting.
Enjoy working together with developers to bring a design to life
Understand the principles and practice of Mobile First and Responsive web design
Be an expert using industry-standard design software like Sketch, Photoshop, and Illustrator
Have a positive attitude and an inspiring work ethic
Be able to think commercially and translate business goals into your work product
Be pleasant to work with and a team player
Have a college degree or a similar degree of life experience
Be passionate about design and ready to share your favorite blogs, authors, etc.
Have at least 1-2 years of work experience in design
