Responsibilities
- Partner strategically with product, engineering, data, and UX research teams to shape team direction, guide key product choices, and influence roadmaps for large-scale initiatives.
- Define and lead the long-term user experience strategy for a specific domain, guiding end-to-end design execution from early concepts to polished, high-fidelity solutions in uncertain or evolving contexts.
- Contribute to UX leadership by working with design managers and senior peers to maintain consistent, high-quality design practices across the organization.
- Inform and guide product decisions using both qualitative feedback and quantitative data, aligning user needs with measurable business outcomes.
- Demonstrate mastery in at least two core design disciplines—such as interaction, visual design, or prototyping—and develop innovative information architectures and design patterns that raise the bar.
- Help evolve the design system by contributing to its growth, guiding teammates in its use, and improving standards and documentation.
- Work closely with engineering teams to ensure designs are technically feasible, scalable, and adapted to real-world implementation constraints.
- Build strong partnerships across functions to improve planning, prioritization, and delivery of impactful user experiences.
- Mentor and guide designers at all levels, from junior to senior, through feedback, coaching, and upholding excellence in design execution.
- Promote a collaborative and inclusive team culture by leading effective workshops and presentations that align stakeholders and clarify design reasoning.
Responsibilities
- Act as a strategic partner to product, engineering, data, and UX research to define team strategy, influence major product decisions, and shape the roadmap for complex initiatives.
- Actively define the long-term user experience vision and strategy for your area, leading the entire design process from concept through high-fidelity implementation in ambiguous environments.
- Serve on the UX leadership team, collaborating with managers and other staff designers to ensure the consistency, quality, and cohesion of design practices across the product organization.
- Lead and influence product decisions with a strong foundation in qualitative and quantitative insights, translating user needs and business metrics into measurable product impact.
- Demonstrate clear excellence in at least two core craft domains (interaction, visual, prototyping), and architect comprehensive information structures and new design patterns that set benchmarks.
- Actively contribute to and influence the evolution of the design system, mentoring peers on its effective utilization, and helping to set design standards and documentation.
- Collaborate deeply with engineering to ensure designs are optimized for production scale and technical constraints are fully understood and addressed.
- Proactively build robust relationships with cross-functional partners to streamline planning, prioritization, and execution of high-impact user experiences.
- Support and lead the development of junior to senior design contributors through mentorship, critique, and setting high standards for design outcomes.
- Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and ego-free culture by facilitating high-impact workshops and presentations to drive consensus and articulate design rationale to all stakeholders
