Job summary

Amazon.com Services LLC’s Talent Solutions team seeks a Manager III, User Experience Design to lead a team of designers who shape experiences used by candidates, recruiters and hiring managers. You own the craft, coach for growth, and ensure the design bar across your domain.

This hands-on management role sets direction, collaborates with product, engineering, and UX research, and moves design earlier in the process.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of design experience
• 3+ years of leading design teams experience

Responsibilities

• Manage, coach and grow a team of designers across levels, with clear expectations and honest, specific feedback
• Own hiring for your team, from bar-raising loop participation through onboarding and ramp
• Build career paths that develop craft and leadership together, and give designers work that stretches them
• Create a team culture where designers critique each other's work directly and improve it
• Hold the quality bar for everything your team ships, across interaction design, visual craft, content and accessibility
• Run design reviews that raise the work rather than approve it, and make the standard explicit enough that others can apply it
• Drive adoption of shared design system components and patterns so quality scales without your presence
• Partner with UX research so evidence, not preference, settles design debates
• Decide what your team takes on and what it declines, against the domain's roadmap and the team's declared investment split
• Size design effort early enough that it lands in product plans rather than arriving as a constraint
• Match the engagement model to the ask, whether embedded, allocated, advisory or small-fix, and make the choice visible to partners
• Keep the team's commitments, owners and dates current so capacity is legible to the wider organisation
• Represent design in roadmap, intake and toll-gate forums, and hold a position when the evidence supports it
• Translate customer pain into a case senior partners act on, using the team's customer value and evidence framework
• Build the working relationships across product and engineering that let design shape decisions early
• Model behaviour that exemplifies Amazon Leadership Principles
