- Influence product strategy: Partner with product, research, and data to set the vision for your team, and build a roadmap of projects that improve company objectives and metrics. Engage with stakeholders across the company, effectively communicating design updates to leadership for feedback and approval.
- Ensure quality delivery: Work with engineering to ensure that high-quality, delightful experiences get built and delivered on time. Advise product and engineering teammates through a deep understanding of design and interaction patterns.
