Key job responsibilities

• You are a role model, mentor, and motivator.

• You bring deep expertise in UX design (frameworks, interaction models, prototypes, research). You think big, framing designs in the context of the broader customer experience, and are equally comfortable diving deep into the details.

• You present design work to partners and executive leadership for review, feedback, and sign-off.

• You prioritize effectively, use data to inform your decisions, weigh the impact and tradeoffs of decisions, and seek input where needed to drive alignment.

• You work closely with product and business partners to develop a shared vision and lead a process to define and design experiences that deliver on those shared objectives.

• You are comfortable navigating from ambiguity to clarity, drawing upon your expertise and design process to create structure. You proactively plan ahead, look around corners, and can see the next step (even when it doesn’t exist yet).

• You develop processes that drive quality and efficiency to help designers accomplish more than what they could otherwise.
