Your impact
- Hold and evolve the long-term product design vision for Back Office in close partnership with the Director of Product, Director of Engineering, and Back Office executive stakeholders
- Advocate for users in strategic roadmap discussions—bringing user insight into the room, not just into the deliverables
- Bring design to the leadership table as a peer, not a service function; articulate design’s role in driving product outcomes and build conviction across stakeholders
- Define what design excellence looks like for Back Office and hold the team accountable to that standard
- Back Office’s component library has a solid foundation—your job is to build the process, rhythm, and shared ownership model that helps the team grow it intentionally over time, with an eye toward making it AI-ready so it can support AI-assisted building, generation, and unification at scale
- Establish a phased documentation plan that makes steady progress without pulling designers off product work
- Define contribution norms so designers work with the library consistently—adding to it thoughtfully rather than around it
- Partner with engineering to reduce implementation drift and build shared language around design system decisions
- Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to shape roadmap priorities, ensure design intent translates into implementation quality, and represent design in leadership discussions
- Define and track design quality metrics that matter to the business—and build a habit of presenting outcomes, not just deliverables, to leadership
- Champion AI-assisted workflows that help your team move faster without sacrificing quality, and help designers build genuine fluency with AI tooling
- Manage, mentor, and inspire a team of product designers - providing design direction and raising the quality bar through regular critiques and hands-on partnership
- Create an environment where designers have clarity, space, and confidence to do their best work
