Sitting at the intersection of design, technology, and operations, you will translate emerging capabilities into practical ways of working for UX teams.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead operational strategy for agentic building within UX, defining frameworks, workflows, and integration models that help teams responsibly design, test, and scale AI-enabled and agentic experiences.

  • Develop operating models for human-and-agent collaboration, clarifying where human judgment, review, intervention, escalation, accessibility, ethics, and quality assurance are required across the product development lifecycle.

  • Ability to navigate high ambiguity with confidence, using structured thinking, frameworks, and facilitation tools to bring clarity and align stakeholders

  • Strong technical fluency in AI-enabled product development, agentic systems, human-in-the-loop workflows, and the evolving implications of AI for UX practice, product delivery, and team operations

  • Highly data-driven and consistently leverage insights to guide decisions, shape strategy, and measure impact

  • As a systems thinker, you consider the full ecosystem of user needs, business processes, and technical constraints to design thoughtful, scalable solutions

  • Strong change management skills, with the ability to help teams understand, adopt, and sustain new workflows in a rapidly evolving technology environment

  • Excellent visual, verbal, and written storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex technical and operational concepts into clear recommendations, roadmaps, and executive-ready narratives

  • A builder mindset, curiosity for emerging technology, and the ability to turn ambiguity into practical solutions teams can use
