- Build strong relationships with Product and Development teams and become a trusted advisor on customer experience.
- Identify high-impact improvements across both mature enterprise software and newer cloud-based products.
- Help establish a shared design language and increase organizational confidence in customer-centered product decisions.

You should be comfortable challenging assumptions, advocating for users and balancing customer needs with business and technical considerations.
