• Drive cross-product initiatives that improve quality and coherence in the customer experience, including shared frameworks, visual language, accessibility, and tone of voice.
  
  
• Monitor all customer feedback channels to ensure Product Design acts as the voice of the customer, representing their perspective in the CX Committee and the product roadmap definition.
  
  
• Promote innovation and prototyping by encouraging the use of cutting-edge design techniques and tools, including those powered by Artificial Intelligence, to explore new solutions that enhance user engagement and satisfaction.
  
  
• Champion the use of user research, experimentation, and evidence-based design to inform product development and de-risk decisions.
  
  
• Oversee user research and testing to uncover insights about behaviors and needs, translating those findings into actionable design decisions.
  
  
• Define and evolve our internal Design System and Design Ops practices to support scalability and consistency.

• Experience leading multidisciplinary design teams with designers, researchers, and writers.
  
  
• Deep understanding of modern product development and agile/dual-track methodologies.
  
  
• Strong systems thinking and experience with complex platforms or design systems.
  
  
• Clear communicator with excellent storytelling skills — able to influence across functions and levels.
  
  
• Strategic mindset, with a hands-on, empathetic leadership style.
  
  
• Passion for conversational products, team empowerment, and delivering business impact through design.
