- who have business know-how: Understanding of business metrics and the ability to translate company goals and objectives into digital experiences
- who are comfortable with - and effective at - liaising with senior leadership; who are able to tell the story of their design in a language that resonates with the audience
- who understand the importance of being a credible design authority - who can evidence the contributions to broader business initiatives that their designs have achieved
- Drive and synthesize customer discovery and understanding through qualitative and quantitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, usability testing, ethnographic studies and statistical analysis learning how employees engage and collaborate across a variety of business capabilities and technical systems
- Facilitate design thinking and working sessions across multiple disciplines to build shared understanding, consensus and forward progress against deliverables
- Collaborate across functions and diverse teams, including design, product management, engineering, and change management, communicating findings and actionable recommendations relevant to various stakeholders
- Collaborate with other UX Design professionals to establish and document best practices for consistently gathering and detailing customer understanding while leading research projects, guiding junior researchers, and contribute to building a user-centered culture within their organizations
- Create sustainable and effective mechanisms for evaluating delivered solutions
