Embedded deeply in discovery, ideation, research, service design, and strategic planning, your team will help define how customers experience secure sign-in, identity verification, account recovery, fraud and scam prevention, risk-based alerts, permissions, and new agentic security interactions. You will guide designers in turning highly complex trust and security challenges into simple, inclusive, and resilient experiences that keep JPMorganChase at the forefront of protecting customers.

• Experience shaping customer experiences in complex identity, security, technology, fintech, or regulated environments where trust, clarity, resilience, and user confidence are critical to product success.
• Proven ability to guide teams across the full journey from early discovery and ideation through execution, ensuring design is embedded in problem framing, research, strategy, service design, and solution definition long before pixels are placed on a screen.
• Familiarity with leading digital identity and technology experience patterns, including secure sign-in, verification, account-linking, consent, recovery, risk-based prompts, suspicious activity reporting, and protective friction.
• Proficiency with approved agentic design, prototyping, and code-generation tools - such as Claude Code or comparable tools, where approved - to accelerate concept development, prototype complex flows, strengthen design-to-engineering handoffs, and enhance team productivity.
