- Build strong cross-functional partnerships with Product, AI, and Engineering grounded in shared accountability and operational clarity
- Actively surface and resolve friction between functions, helping teams align quickly and maintain healthy partnerships
- Establish clear performance expectations, career paths, and growth frameworks for the product design team
- Partner with product leadership on quarterly planning and cross-workstream prioritization
- Collaborate with the Design System Lead to evolve and maintain a cohesive design system
- Guide the design team in building intuitive, inclusive, and user-centered experiences that drive business outcomes
- Represent the design function at the leadership level, ensuring design has a seat at the table in strategic conversations
Qualifications
- 12+ years of experience in product/UX design, with 7+ years in leadership roles
- Consistent track record of effectively managing both ICs and managers

- Strong plus: experience designing for global userbases or non-English markets
