A big week for job changes: William Azaroff was promoted at Vancity (congrats, well deserved, if not long-overdue), Ron Shevlin has departed from Epsilon. Now it’s my turn.
Yesterday I resigned from my position as Manager, Web Services at North Shore Credit Union. My last day will be February 29, 2008. A tough decision as I have a great role, a supporting team and manager and have worked hard over the past 5 years to build NSCU’s web strategy and roll it out.
Where am I going? I have accepted a position as User Experience Consultant at Habanero Consulting Group a Vancouver-based company that provides IT consulting services and solutions including business intelligence, collaboration, Dynamics, sustainment and websites/eCommerce. I will be in Vancouver for the interim then moving West East to join their growing Calgary practice around May of this year.
If you are a vendor/partner I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the contributions you have made in supporting our advancement of the web channel at North Shore Credit Union. If you are a peer (past or present), I have enjoyed having the opportunity to work with you and collaborate on projects in the Credit Union space hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.

Best of luck with your new adventure! You’re not going to become a Calgary Flames fan now, are you?
Good luck — sounds like a great move.
Wow! Best of luck! You’ve done great work, and I’m sure that’ll continue at your new gig – they’re lucky to have you!
Exciting news. I’ve long admired the work of Habañero, especially after meeting a couple of their employees at the IA Summit in Montreal. I’m sure they’ll be a fantastic company to work with.
Based on the job title, User Experience Consultant, will you be doing less in the realm of web analytics and focusing more on planning and design?
This is a blow to the entire credit union movement in BC. Scott, you are one of the best web people I’ve ever come across. Congrats, and I’ll miss you!
@Taylor: Thanks, will remain a die-hard Oilers fan!
@Ron: Hope your change is going well 🙂
@Trey: Thanks, expect me to not be far from credit union land and watching what you’re up to.
@ Geof: Thanks. I’ll be doing more of the planning, client engagement, uncovery, but plan to integrate web analytics into that process pre or post much like I did have at North Shore Credit Union.
@ William: Thanks. Will miss our interactions in the CU space, but will be watching to see all the great changes at Vancity and naturally tracking you in the blogosphere.

Scott:
Congratulations!! HCG sounds like such a great place to work.
We all look forward to dispatches from your new adventures.

Thanks Avinash. I’m looking forward to the change. Hoping to weave in web analytics and maybe build a practice over the long term.
