  • Act as a force multiplier for design, leading by example and mentoring other designers in UX craft.

  • Lead complex design projects, taking ownership of initiatives that span multiple teams, domains, or products.

  • Expand beyond assigned product areas, influencing design decisions across features, platforms, and departments.

  • Drive high-impact design execution, ensuring experiences align with customer, business, and organizational goals.

  • Collaborate with product and engineering leadership, contributing to prioritization, ideation, and execution.

  • Own the execution of UX solutions, including wireframes, prototypes, user flows, journey maps, and final UI assets.

  • Ensure on-time and in-full delivery, working closely with engineering and product management to execute seamlessly.

  • Elevate the design team’s expertise, advocating for UX best practices and mentoring junior team members.

  • Advocate for design excellence, ensuring quality, usability, and consistency across products.

  • Partner across teams, fostering collaboration between design, product, and engineering to create cohesive and impactful user experiences.

  • Contribute to a strong UX culture, promoting growth, learning, and cross-team knowledge-sharing.

  • Effective collaboration skills, with the ability to drive alignment and build consensus across design, product, and engineering teams.

  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, proactively defining direction alongside product and engineering counterparts.

  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, ensuring design rationale is compelling and actionable.

  • A high level of accountability, with excellent time management and follow-through on commitments.

  • Energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity, embracing a growth mindset and continuous learning.

  • Experience working with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams to ensure cohesive design execution across multiple products.

  • Cybersecurity experience is not required, but the ability to synthesize complex industry needs into polished and user-friendly design solutions is essential.

  • Willingness to travel occasionally, both domestically and internationally, to collaborate with global team members.
