• Drive the visual design of the user interface, by developing/evolving a style guide and/or design system, ensuring consistency across UI components and user interactions, and providing detailed specifications to front-end developers.
• Distil complex and dense information into clarifying data visualizations and views for the various lenses of user archetypes.
• Analyze product analytics to improve user interactions with the application.
• Deliver regular customer facing product demos for presales activities demonstrating the product's differentiated capabilities.
• Interface with global system integrators (GSIs) such as Accenture, EY, and Deloitte to build user interfaces relevant and supportive to Sandbox's strategic partnership efforts.
• Maintain dotted-line, cross-departmental connection to and collaboration with the broader design functions in other SandboxAQ Business Units
