In This Role, You’ll
- Be a coach. You’ll manage and professionally develop a small team of exceptional designers working in the same space. You’ll mentor them on both soft and hard skills, helping them develop and achieve their career goals.

- Be a visual and verbal storyteller. You’ll communicate design vision and decisions clearly, connecting user needs to business outcomes and aligning partners across Product and Engineering.
- Add clarity to ambiguous problem spaces. You’ll guide teams through complex, multi-product workflows by asking the right questions and balancing simplification with elite-level customization.
- Collaborate across disciplines. By forming close partnerships with counterparts in Engineering, Product, Scrum and Quality, you’ll help define requirements and deliver clear and focused digital user experiences.
- Design process, quality and delivery. You’ll advocate for accessibility and design excellence, all while shepherding your project to release. After delivering on-time solutions, you’ll measure and own how well they address design and product needs.
