Army Career Match Tool
With more than 275 career paths available, the Army faced a significant information architecture challenge. Prospective recruits often struggled to navigate the breadth of opportunities and identify careers aligned with their interests and aspirations.
We addressed this through a personalized career discovery quiz that translated complex decision-making into a guided experience, helping users uncover relevant opportunities while establishing a scalable framework for career exploration across the Army's digital ecosystem.
My Role:
Led the end-to-end design vision for the initiative, bringing together experience strategy, information architecture, and design systems into a cohesive career discovery platform. Built alignment across Army leadership, agency partners, and cross-functional teams, while serving as a primary client partner responsible for stakeholder engagement, workshop facilitation, and executive-level presentations. Guided complex business and user challenges into a scalable experience that made career exploration more intuitive, relevant, and actionable.
Impact:
The Career Match became one of the Army's most effective recruitment tools. The platform helped prospective recruits navigate more than 275 career paths with greater clarity and confidence, connecting them to opportunities aligned with their interests, skills, and long-term goals. As a result, Career Match generated 35% of all site-generated leads, significantly increased engagement throughout the recruitment journey, and established a scalable framework for career discovery that continues to support the Army's evolving recruitment needs.
