You apply your expertise by serving as a subject-matter expert in UX design principles, user-centered product development methodologies, design systems, and research tools. You collaborate with others to deliver work such as: analyzing or anticipating user needs, resolving constraints, and mitigating potential risks, leading the implementation of a holistic design process, design system, or design language across teams or products, defining user experience / product strategy for your team, and exploring innovative solutions to new or existing problems that explicitly consider and mitigate unintentional harm.
