The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) takes quite seriously our role as a beacon and voice for the science community.</p><p>
FAS has a rich history: after the devastating bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, a group of atomic researchers &ndash; deeply concerned about the use of science for malice &ndash; created an organization committed to using science and technology to benefit humanity.</p><p>
The group they created &ndash; the Federation of Atomic Scientists &ndash; soon became the Federation of American Scientists in recognition of the hundreds of scientists across diverse disciplines who joined together to speak with one voice for the betterment of the world.</p><p>
Today, we are a group of entrepreneurial, intrepid changemakers, forging a better future for all through the nexus of science, technology and talent. We value equity, inclusion, and transparency. As a collective, we are building an organization focused on being impact-driven, customer-focused, and growth-oriented as a force for good in the world.</p><p><b><br>

As Director of Experience Strategy, you'll lead Wide Eye's experience strategy practice&mdash;the discipline that defines how our clients' websites, digital products, and platforms think, speak, behave, and perform. You own the strategic foundation that shapes every digital experience we create: how users navigate, what content they encounter, how they move toward action, and how we measure what's working.</p><p>
You'll sit on the Wide Eye Leadership Team alongside our other practice leads. Your team includes in-house UX and content strategists, as well as a network of freelancers specializing in digital strategy, analytics, and user research and testing. You'll set the standards, build the processes, and also do hands-on work that ensures every project we deliver is grounded in evidence, structured with clarity, and optimized for real-world impact.</p><p>
This is a strategy-first leadership role: rigorous, client-facing, and connected to measurable outcomes.</p><p></p><p><b>

Ensure strategic deliverables&mdash;site maps, user journeys, content frameworks, IA, prototypes&mdash;are consistently excellent and mission-aligned</li><li>
Oversee user research, usability testing, journey mapping, and stakeholder workshops&mdash;and ensure these inform the work throughout, not just at the start</li><li>
Set standards for how we approach CRM and engagement tool integration, conversion optimization, and fundraising user flows</li><li>

Experiment with emerging technologies and lead recommendations to clients on tools such as Algolia, AI-driven personalization engines, and other platforms that improve findability, streamline user journeys, and strengthen mission impact</li><li>
Drive innovation in how we approach digital experiences specifically for mission-driven organizations: from friction-free service access to high-conversion fundraising flows to content ecosystems that actually get used</li><li>
Own our analytics practice: define what we track, how we report it, and how insights shape both ongoing optimization and future project strategy&mdash;and build our capacity to demonstrate outcomes beyond launch so clients see the long-term value of our work</li></ul><h5 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Business Development &amp; Thought Leadership</b></h5><p>
Bring experience strategy expertise into how we win and grow client relationships.</p><ul><li>

What Success Looks Like</b></h4><p><b>
A Strategy Practice That Scales:</b> Every project&mdash;regardless of size or timeline&mdash;is grounded in clear strategic thinking before design begins.</p><p><b>
Evidence-Driven Decisions:</b> Clients and internal teams are making better decisions because of our research, data, and analysis&mdash;rather than just instinct.</p><p><b>
Outcomes Beyond Launch:</b> We can demonstrate measurable impact for clients after a project ships&mdash;traffic, engagement, conversion, retention&mdash;and use that data to deepen relationships.</p><p><b>
A Cohesive Strategy Team:</b> In-house strategists and freelance partners operate as a unified, high-functioning practice, not a loose collection of contractors.</p><p><b>
Clear Direction:</b> The rest of the Wide Eye team knows what experience strategy requires of them&mdash;and why it matters.</p><h5 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
In Your First Year</b></h5><ul><li>

Take active ownership of strategy on at least two or three complex client engagements, establishing what great looks like</li><li>
