Description

• The New Jersey State Office of Innovation is looking for diverse and experienced team members to deploy world-class innovative and digital services that solve pressing public interest challenges for the people of New Jersey. • Our work spans numerous issue and policy areas, and is focused on making an impact in the lives of the New Jerseyans that we serve. • Our work has decreased the amount of time it takes to apply for Unemployment Insurance, made it easier to start, operate, and grow a business in the Garden State, and connected millions of New Jerseyans to government programs, services, and benefits. • Our team members wear many hats, contributing to both the execution of core projects and the evolution of the Office of Innovation (OOI). • We use data and modern research, design, and development methods to inform our decision making, and we collaborate with stakeholders within and outside of government to understand and solve challenges. • We are seeking a nimble product designer who is ready to both lead and dive into all parts of product design. • You should be comfortable working in a startup environment where you think independently and operate with a high degree of autonomy. • We’re looking for self-starters who are skilled at driving projects forward while communicating and collaborating closely with the team. • This position will report to the Design Director and collaborate closely with their Initiative Director to align their team’s work with the broader Resident Experience or Business Experience portfolio strategy.
