Who Are We?
We’re the UX Labs team for Famous Footwear and its partner brands (including shoes.com, Naturalizer, Dr Scholl’s Shoes, and many more). Our mission is to push the boundaries between eCommerce and brick and mortar retail stores. We want to blur the lines between how people interact online and in-store, and we are looking for a new member to join our passionate labs team.
What’s The Deal with the Labs Team?
- Our team members have the opportunity to work on exciting projects, via team collaboration, that actually moves the needle for the business.
- We thrive off of a “Dream it and build it mentality.” If you dream up a solution to a problem that compels you to take action, then we will find ways of supporting that action.
- Move fast and break things! In addition to our “Dream it…” mentality, we don’t like to remain stagnate. We encourage failing quickly so we can learn from our failures and move forward. Experience is the best teacher!
- We encourage growth and learning for all members of the UX Labs team. Team members are encouraged to attend conferences, learn new technologies, and increase their current skill sets.
