  • Decide when to move fast and when to build for production, and help others make the same call
  • Lead large, cross-team initiatives and set design technology strategy for the domain
  • Explain that strategy clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, and influence partners and leaders through prototypes and storytelling
  • Mentor designers and engineers on using data, analytics, research, and technology to improve design outcomes
  • Assess tools and frameworks and drive their adoption across teams
  • Track advances in LLMs, code, content organization, and conversation design, and recommend GenAI solutions that fit team requirements and the design vision
