  • Define success metrics with Product and iterate using qualitative and quantitative signals.
  • Design for trust and transparency, building UX guardrails and governance into the experience through collaboration with Legal/Compliance, InfoSec, and domain experts.
  • Evolve the global design system with AI‑ready components and patterns, setting a strong quality bar through critiques and design reviews.

  • Familiarity with AI UX concepts, and experience designing GenAI features beyond chat interface.
  • Ability to articulate and design for trade‑offs between helpfulness, safety, latency, and accuracy.

  • Confident research practitioner: plan and conduct workshops, synthesise insight, and influence decisions through evidence.
  • Excellent cross‑functional collaboration and stakeholder management.
