• Promote a culture of empathy for the end-user, aligning closely with business objectives.

• Communicate design ideas and prototypes to a broad audience within the organization.

  You partner with PM and Engineering on defining scope, and delivering minimum lovable experiences with the intention to iterate and continually improve the experience, based on feedback from customers/users.

• Communication: Ability to communicate across all levels of the organization, as needed. You are a storyteller - you define the problem, help the audience empathize with the personas, and present solutions that hit on those problem spaces.

• Self-driven, passionate, and curious with a love for staying connected with partners.
