About the opportunity Dayforce is looking for a experienced Experience Architect to establish multidisciplinary and strategic leadership for our Experience Architecture across our entire product suite. Design at Dayforce is building a contemporary, human-centered practice, recognizing that software tools should look and work more like our favorite consumer applications. To realize this shift requires research and design influence and contributions at the highest organizational levels. Working alongside our VP of Design, the Experience Architect leads efforts that cross the entire suite (Dayforce, Dayforce Mobile, Dayforce Wallet, and future offerings), supporting Dayforce’s shift to being an experience-driven enterprise. A facilitative leadership style helps drive this shift with senior design, research, product, and engineering leaders to envision the evolution of our product suite. This is a leadership individual contributor role, not a people management role. The Experience Architect will lead efforts across organizations and departments, and direct efforts of specific sub-teams but is not expected to manage direct reports.
