Identify and tackle systemic design opportunities that improve performance, accessibility, and user satisfaction at scale. Act as a bridge between functions, using your influence to align cross-functional teams around a unified product vision. What You’ll Need to Thrive Extensive experience leading complex design initiatives from conception to launch within large-scale, high-growth environments. Proven ability to define and drive design strategy, successfully managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. Demonstrated track record of mentoring designers and elevating the quality of work within high-performing teams. Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex design visions and influence senior leadership. Deep technical fluency and a strategic understanding of how design influences engineering constraints and product outcomes.
