You'll assess the skills and development areas of the designers on your team to align them to the right opportunities to deliver key results and encourage their growth.
  
• You're a systems thinker and orchestrator. You can effectively connect the dots between product experiences in the ecosystem. You'll collaborate with cross-functional leaders to orchestrate across the ecosystem.
  
• You're a passionate advocate for great experiences. You're an engaging communicator, facilitator, and storyteller who can sell a vision, energize partners to do the right thing and empower designers in pursuing ambitious ideas rooted in real human needs.
  
• You're an inspiring leader, mentor, and coach with a growth mindset. You will guide and grow the design leaders within the team that reports to you, enabling them to scale and create value through the experiences they deliver with their teams and partners.
  
• You're skilled at guiding results-driven, end-to-end design from strategy to execution. You know the ins-and-outs of what's needed to design and deliver a great experience, and can set reasonable expectations and project timeframes with cross-functional leadership peers. You can effectively provide feedback to your team in how they frame problems, define insights, create compelling visions, design concepts and prototypes, and communicate their ideas. You have a critical eye for great UX, UI, visual, and content design, and can ensure your team delivers top-quality work.
  
• You love what you do. You are constantly energized by solving customer & business problems and empowering teams to deliver elegant design solutions. You'll shape our culture with your enthusiasm - that's what makes you a great leader.
