• Create strategic design deliverables such as strategy decks, customer journeys, visions of future experiences and evangelize these artifacts across teams
• Be an active stakeholder to key ‘horizontal’ activities such as Design System development
• Participate in the creation of a framework for establishing and assessing design quality 
• Work with design, research, program management, and product leaders on process for product development
• Advocate for Accessibility and Inclusive Design practices
• Share ideas, successes, and knowledge to build trust and extend the reach of the discipline overall
• Coach and mentor other designers within your team

What you’ll need to succeed:

• Has an extensive track record for shipping delightful products and user experiences
• Knows how to analyze a problem, consider research and data, then propose and deliver a solution
• Collaborates effectively with stakeholders and helps to steer debates into decisions during team discussions
• Demonstrates strong leadership and design direction, guiding design teams toward superlative outcomes 
• Mastery of Interaction Design and Visual UI design, supplemented with strong abilities in adjacent skills such as UX Research, UX Writing, Information Architecture, and Analysis and Insights Development.
• Understands how design work connects with broader business value 
• Experience working in complex systems with multiple audiences and complicated workflows; enterprise SaaS and experience with different data visualization techniques is a plus
• Possesses excellent communication, presentation and collaboration skills
