  • Collaborate with product managers, UX researchers, other designers to ensure designs are aligned with business goals and user needs. 
  • Communicate design effectively to facilitate iterations and incremental enhancement delivery across many teams with design deliverables, such as diagrams, site maps, wireframes, prototypes, design specifications, presentation, etc. 
  • Promote your vision and plan across the R&D organisation, working with senior leadership to build alignment across disparate teams, each maintaining separate priorities and goals, to deliver an integrated platform experience. 
  • Seek out and embrace feedback from your peers and collaborators. Provide thoughtful feedback, empower, and mentor other designers on the team to do their best work.
  • Stay current with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies, applying this knowledge to foster innovation within the team.
