This is an open position at Avenue A | Razorfish, Chicago


Senior Information Architect-In Brief

The Senior Information Architect is responsible for developing IA
documentation (site maps, transaction flows, schematics, navigation
models) for both web sites and applications. This is not a back-seat
support role-in addition to collaborating with the Experience Lead, as
well as other team members including other Information Architects,
Content Strategists and User Researchers, and others from our Creative,
Technology and Strategy groups, you will also work closely with the
client to present and review IA deliverables. A firm understanding of
user-centered design processes will be crucial to your success here.
Ideal candidates will have a healthy sense of humor, and are ready to
finally work in a place where they are no longer the smartest person in
the room.
