Lead designers and own the quality of shipped work and the systems that enable the discipline to scale. Run design critiques and research reviews, set standards for prototyping and interaction quality, and ensure accessibility through WCAG conformance and assistive-technology testing. Coach the team to conduct documentary-style timeline interviews and turn job stories into backlog items engineering can use. Define AI interaction patterns, principles, and guardrails for setting expectations, communicating uncertainty, handling errors and recovery, keeping humans meaningfully involved, and making automated behaviour explainable and reversible.

Build an AI pattern library and evaluation approach, and incorporate AI into research synthesis, early exploration, and design operations while keeping human judgement central. Establish handoff standards and technical documentation, discuss job stories with Engineering, and make trade-offs between feasibility, business goals, and user needs explicit. Mature research practices by defining standards, methods, and tooling, and ensuring rigour in sampling, bias, and communicating methodological limitations.

Establish Design Operations and Research Operations, including tooling, templates, participant recruitment, and scalable processes. Set the strategic direction for the design system with Engineering. Hire, onboard, manage performance, and support team growth. Steward and extend the UX career framework across individual-contributor and people-leadership tracks. Design and facilitate discovery workshops, co-design and alignment sessions, prioritisation exercises, and participatory customer sessions. Personally run high-stakes sessions with enterprise accounts, executive sponsors, and advisory boards.

Deep knowledge of research methodology, including unbiased interviewing, surveys, concept and usability testing, ethnographic work, and mixed-method study design. Strong design craft in information architecture, interaction design, and prototyping, with the ability to explain solutions to engineers and executives. Experience defining outcome-based UX metrics and using them to influence a roadmap.

Strong workshop design and facilitation skills, including handling conflicting agendas and senior stakeholders who arrive with a decided solution. Experience working directly with high-profile or strategic customers and turning sessions into actionable research and stronger customer relationships.
