You will introduce clarity, process, and rigor; champion user research and insights;
and build a culture where design is seen as essential, influential, and deeply integrated into product strategy.

Develop the strategy for leveraging behavioral data and insights to improve usability.
Ensure design decisions are grounded in evidence, not assumptions.
Integrate AI Thoughtfully Into the Experience
Identify opportunities to incorporate AI into workflows, automation, and decision support.
Partner with Product & Engineering to design intuitive and trustworthy AI‑enabled experiences.
Bring awareness of emerging AI UX patterns into Caret’s product strategy.
Lead and Mentor the Design Team
