What's cool about this job

At REI, we believe a life outside is a life well-lived. Since 1938, we’ve been your local outdoor co-op, working to help you experience the transformational power of nature. Today, we have 6 million active members and are the largest consumer co-op in the United States.

If you’ve ever been in an REI store, our employees’ ability to connect you with the information, products, and services you need is probably a big reason you like to shop with us. The Customer Platforms team aims to extend that experience to all our customer touchpoints, including the website, app, call centers, and the co-op’s physical locations. We build the tools that allow teams across the co-op to match REI products and services with a customer’s individual context for a relevant, personalized experience every time.

As Principal Designer for the Customer Platforms team, you will craft an outcomes-based, customer-focused experience strategy and steer strategic design initiatives for the team. Success in this role means bringing curiosity and commitment to testing new ideas, educating about human-centered design and customer centricity, mentoring more junior team members, and helping translate business goals into products and services that enable life-changing experiences for our customers. You’ll use strong communication, negotiation, and presentation skills as you partner closely with other designers, UX researchers, and product management and engineering leadership.
