- Build and scale UX capability across the organization, including tools, playbooks, and reusable assets
- Define expectations for design artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, design specifications) and ensure consistent quality
- Enable Product, Engineering, and Adoption teams with UX frameworks, templates, and best practices
- Help establish and evolve a UX community of practice
Feedback Integration & Continuous Improvement
- Establish mechanisms to capture, synthesize, and operationalize user feedback across products
- Define and monitor experience success metrics (usability, friction, adoption signals, satisfaction trends)
- Ensure insights are systematically integrated into roadmaps, design decisions, and experience improvements
Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence
- Partner with Product Management, Engineering, Architecture, Adoption & Activation, and Agile teams to embed UX into product and delivery decisions
