We are the connected marketing agency, a full-service agency with modern creative & media, data, and technology services all under one roof. 

We are connected in the way we think and the way we work. At the heart of our company are great people that we call Unicorns. Our Unicorns are open, bold, and curious and love to solve complex problems for clients in unique ways.

Our Creative Directors make digital products and services people love to use. They are collaborators who bring multidisciplinary teams together to set and drive a vision forward.

At Digitas, our Experience Design team crafts digital products, content, and services people love to use. We are collaborators and innovators, who thrive in multidisciplinary teams, who can start from a blank page and help realize the vision for a great experience, and who aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty making that vision a reality.

Our backgrounds run the gamut from site to mobile, ecom to campaign, startup to agency, with one foot in visual design and the other in UX. But at heart we are designers who love creating new, meaningful experiences and are exceptionally well versed in the practice of modern digital product creation.

We’re looking for a Vice President/Group Director of Experience Design to join our Boston-based team, a leader who will help set the vision for a project, a team, and the organization. You’ll be as comfortable sweating the details of a design interaction as you are presenting your teams’ work to executive-level client partners. You’ll be a mentor and a manager, developing talent to be their best. And you’re passionate about growing your own talent, as well.

Sound good?
