Design Director

Work & Co, part of Accenture Song, is a global design and technology company with offices in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. We are known for uniting the industry’s best hands-on strategy, product, and technical talent to generate tangible impact at scale. Client partners include IKEA, Apple, PGA TOUR, Gatorade, Google, Mercedes, Givenchy, the MTA, and more.

As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies that rarely approach outside firms. Forrester Research calls our approach “a model to follow.” Visit work.co to learn more.
 
We look for Design Directors who see no boundaries between form and function, and who think the feel of a product should come more from how it works than how it looks. We believe designers are basically strategists who express strategy through design. 

Creating digital products is a team game. Our methodology emphasizes intense collaboration, early prototyping and testing, and so many iterations you’ll lose count. Design Directors work closely with other Designers, Product Managers, Strategists, and Developers to create digital products and services that reshape industries while mentoring others in the Work & Co Design team. Our Partners are hands on and you’ll work directly with them — no middle management here. #wco
