Act as a Zwifter advocate to ensure the highest level of usability in everything you create

Outstanding portfolio of game UX Design examples or case studies that demonstrate your critical thinking skills
5+ years of UX Design experience working on shipped games (fitness, or physical/digital interaction game experience is a plus)
Solid understanding of user-centered design, research and testing
Working knowledge of design tools such as Sketch, Photoshop, and Illustrator
Experience with prototyping tools such as Invision
Comfortable both providing and receiving objective feedback, and eager to problem solve collaboratively
Proven ability to prioritize project tasks and raise questions when ambiguity arises
