• Partner closely with the broader UX team (design, research, and content strategy) and cross-functional peers (Product Manager (PM), engineering, marketing, and datascience) to advocate user-centric solutions.
• Translate user research insights, market trends, and data metrics into scalable design solutions that solve real user pain points.
