  • Guide the creation of wireframes, user journeys, interaction flows, and storyboards to communicate design intent clearly
  • Drive the development of functional prototypes to validate interaction patterns and user flows early in the design cycle
  • Partner closely with Product Management and Engineering to align design direction with product strategy and execution plans
  • Articulate and evolve a compelling UX vision, while delivering iterative improvements that progressively realize the broader product experience strategy
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, feedback, and continuous improvement across the design organization and cross-functional teams
