• Work closely with development teams to ensure designs are implemented accurately.
• Collaboration with Product Owners & Delivery Teams
• Work closely with Product Owners during discovery and delivery to shape clear and usable solutions.
• Translate requirements, acceptance criteria, and constraints into effective interaction designs.
• Support development teams with clear design specifications and ongoing clarification.

• Design System & Experience Quality
• Contribute to the evolution and maintenance of the design system.

• Clearly communicate design decisions, rationale, and trade-offs.
• Present designs in a structured and understandable way to diverse stakeholders.
• Incorporate feedback while protecting experience quality and usability.
• Act as an advocate for users in product discussions.
• Solution Influence & Design Authority
• Actively influence solution design by proposing interaction models, user flows, and experience options aligned with product goals.
• Partner with Product Owners during solution definition to identify usability risks, experience gaps, and improvement opportunities.
• Provide clear UX/UI recommendations and articulate the impact of design trade-offs on users and experience quality.
• Shape how solutions work for users while collaborating with Product Owners, who retain solution ownership.
