- Drive design quality, practice, and offerings that meet business and user goals
- Represent the design team in proposal creation
- Work closely with our development teams and leaders to ensure that our designs fit with our technical considerations and they are being brought to life appropriately
- Keep abreast of new technologies and innovations in the marketplace that could help our clients better serve their customers
- Own craft and capability output across key projects, ensuring each project deliverable is of the highest quality
- Expand our user testing capabilities and enhance our data-driven approach ( refining SEO, A/B testing, contextual inquiry, interview, surveys, competitive analysis)
- Work as trusted advisor with our clients, leveraging deep industry and market knowledge to guide product development
- Have solid knowledge of the automotive market—you can speak informatively with our clients regarding the industry about content, craft, and trends in this space
