• Drive end-to-end design work while staying close to the craft:
  • Explore complex problems
  • Build and test prototypes
  • Conduct customer conversations and research
  • Convert insights into polished, production-ready UX/UI
• Create systems, practices, and feedback loops that enable consistently excellent work at scale.
• Make strong design decisions quickly, balancing speed, quality, complexity, and compliance.

Requirements (Must-Have Qualities)

• Deep user-centric mindset: advocate for customers; use interviews, data, and observation to understand real behavior.
• Exceptional craft: strong composition, hierarchy, interaction, and detail; high standard for shipped experiences.
• Reasoned and curious: challenge assumptions, ask sharp questions, identify root causes.
• Decisive judgment: make thoughtful trade-offs among speed, quality, complexity, and compliance.
• High agency: proactively identify what needs to happen, bring others along, and move work forward.
• Systematic discovery: establish repeatable learning methods and regular feedback loops.
• Clear and collaborative communication: articulate thinking clearly and provide engineers the context needed.
