Senior Interactive Designer / Art Director - Portland, OR

Webtrends is a Customer Intelligence company with leading solutions for customer interaction optimization across all digital channels. We live firmly behind our corporate values: Open, Innovative, Engaged, Accountable. Every day we look for new ways to drive innovation in every facet of our business and expect each member of the team to take personal ownership over their work, forming a unique opportunity to live, grow and learn in a highly collaborative and dynamic environment. We don't get caught up in the cogs of traditional corporate culture, which slow down the speed of progress. It's not about ego and job title; it's about getting it done every day. At the end of each day, we ask ourselves, "Did I make this a better place for my customers to do business and for my colleagues to work?"
