• Explore issues or needs by framing problems at the system level, identifying opportunities for reuse or simplification across the product ecosystem.

• Execute the development plan by partnering closely with product and engineering to influence execution and navigate competing priorities.

• Collect, analyze, and interpret insights to define the right research questions, knowing when qualitative insight outweighs metrics to uncover true user needs.

• Edit and maintain documentation for the UX/UI component library, broader style guides, and user guides for CMS solutions.

• Work within an established project management plan to self-govern priorities and deliverables while navigating constraints constructively.

• Review the backlog and reprioritize work by making sound design decisions even with incomplete or conflicting information.

• Provide advice and training by mentoring other designers, helping raise the overall quality of design, and guiding teams on CMS usage.
