Responsibilities

• Institutionalize UX Quality: Continue to roll out, measure, and improve the new UX Quality program from a successful pilot to an org-wide standard where 100% of production releases pass through formal Design QA
• Data into Stories: Turn the data from these programs into compelling narratives for leadership, establishing a new design impact measurement framework that tracks UX defect trends and system adoption
• Ritual Excellence: Evaluate and centrally organize our fragmented design rituals (critiques, reviews, and demos), ensuring they unlock actual learning and alignment rather than adding overhead
• AI Integration: Pilot and scale AI-augmented design tools that demonstrably reduce design-to-dev handoff time
• Facilitating the Rhythm: You will own the facilitation and continuous improvement of high-leverage rituals like Software Design Reviews and cross-pillar alignment sessions
• Managing the Engine: You’ll manage the processes behind our primary tools—Asana, Jira, and Figma—ensuring the plumbing between these systems remains seamless for the team
• Coaching & Mentoring: You’ll spend time coaching designers, engineers, and PMs on how to navigate our operating system and adopt new ways of working
• Stakeholder Alignment: You’ll meet regularly with senior leaders across Product and Engineering to align on quality standards and resolve process friction in the PDLC
• Designing the Future: You’ll spend dedicated cycles identifying 'what's next' for the org, whether that’s a new governance model for the Trinity Design System or new patterns for agentic AI experiences
