Collaborating closely with experts in the AI/ML space, designing innovative experiences by connecting technical opportunities to user needs.
Connecting and communicating with a wide variety of team members from both inside and outside your supergroup, building alignment and securing buy-in on your team’s ideas and direction.
Working within a close-knit design team and contributing to building our design culture within the Content and Discovery supergroup.
