Work with Data Scientists to interpret quantitative data and turn user, behavioral, and operational data into actionable insights.
Influence prioritization and roadmapping by connecting user needs with business goals and mission.
Champion human-centered and inclusive design principles.
Use strategic storytelling to communicate vision, value, and direction.
Work closely with product, engineering, and subject matter experts to translate concepts into designs, creating artifacts like user flows, wireframes, and prototypes.
Design user experience prototypes and contribute to AI experimentation learnings and emergent product discovery.
Apply design systems, ensuring visual and functional consistency for prototyping.
Write and test content using plain language for clarity and accessibility.
Conduct user testing to validate design decisions.
Experiment with generative AI tools to support ideation and prototyping.
Use tools like Figma with proficiency to improve efficiency and prototyping speed.
Collaborate with product managers, engineers, researchers, leadership, and other stakeholders throughout the design and development process.
Participate in standups, sprint planning, design reviews, design critiques, and QA cycles.
Translate research insights and design decisions into clear specifications for implementation.
Present ideas, research findings, and designs with confidence and clarity to high-level leadership and stakeholders.
Contribute to company-wide design efforts, including shared tools, systems, and templates.
Mentor junior designers or peers through pairing and feedback.
Continuously invest in personal development and share emerging tools, trends, and provocations.
