For over 30 years, ACS Technologies has faithfully served the church, creating software to help churches manage their ministry with less stress and more accuracy.

But we’ve got more work to do, and we know we need the right talent on board to help with our mission of serving churches with tomorrow’s technology. We’re looking for a UX designer to help craft our next generation of products into more than just capable tools, but into capable tools that help church staff and leadership do complex, high-level tasks with delightful simplicity. After all, technology exists to serve people, not the other way around.

  • Develop and maintain mockups, usage scenarios, prototypes, specifications, navigation maps, and other design documents.
  • Advocate for the end-user throughout the development process and work closely with other members of the UX team to craft a world-class user experience.
