Job Description

Audible, Inc. is the world’s largest seller and producer of spoken audio entertainment, information and educational programming. Since inventing and commercializing the first portable digital audio player in 1997, our focus on technological innovation and superior programming has earned us millions of subscribers around the world. We’re an Amazon subsidiary with a presence on four different continents, yet we maintain a startup vibe and small company feel. We offer more than 350,000 downloadable audiobooks, audio editions of periodicals, and other programs, and an escalating array of listening products that enrich daily life for a growing population of people who want to be more productive, well-informed, and thoughtfully entertained.

Help shape the future of listening! We’re looking for user-focused designers to shape effortless and memorable experiences to millions of users -- impacting their lives in a meaningful way.

Call it interaction design, product design, user experience – the goal is the same, and Audible’s culture is increasingly focused and driven by our dynamic UX team.

• You understand why you designed something, and you can advocate for that in our team environment while collaborating with product managers and engineers.
• You believe in robust research and can adapt to the results – even if it means significant change to an original idea.
• You’re constantly exploring and evaluating the best design tools and processes.
• You’re able to visualize the end-to-end experience, defining the right customer experience across multiple surfaces.
• We’ll like working together if you’re open-minded, thoughtful, visionary and understand the importance of a solid design process … and you can help us build and evolve that across our multifaceted teams.
