• Work closely with users to understand their requirements and deliver an intuitive and frictionless user experience
• Use AI assisted tools and agents across research, design, prototyping, and implementation where they improve speed or quality of delivery.
• Write user-focused tickets with clarity and intent.
• Own design quality and decisions for the product, ensuring usability experience meet standards of the enterprise and agreed outcomes.
