• Leadership and further development of an interdisciplinary team of frontend engineers and UX/UI designers for all digital product surfaces: component libraries, interaction patterns, motion design, accessibility standards, and cross-platform consistency. Close cooperation with product management, backend engineering, and hardware teams.

• Productionisation & scaling: Transitioning prototypes and design concepts into production-grade digital products. Design for performance, maintainability, and scalability. Cost‑effective tooling decisions and compliance with quality standards across all surfaces.

• Standards & accessibility: Ensuring compliance with relevant standards (WCAG 2.1/2.2, iOS/Android platform guidelines) and design system governance requirements for all digital products.

• Sovereignty in complex product environments: Making qualified technical and design decisions. Identifying pragmatic solutions, taking into account user needs, engineering constraints, timelines, and available resources.

• Vendor and partner management: Selection and management of external design, frontend, and tooling partners.

Mandatory Mandates
