Our Sr Experience Designer will lead the definition, design and evolution of end-to-end customer experiences across main journeys, channels, products, and touchpoints. You will guide both the improvement of underperforming experiences and the innovation of new ones—translating customer needs into applicable, testable, and scalable service solutions.

You'll apply human-centered design, journey mapping, and service blueprinting to solve customer problems and influence how Avalara delivers value. Working with Product, Engineering, UX, Service Design, VoC, Data, Content, and Customer Support you will align experience strategies that deliver measurable business and customer outcomes. You will report to the Senior Director, Global Customer Experience. This can be a fully remote opportunity. #LI-Remote
