  • Experience implementing and scaling design systems within a large, cross-functional organization
  • Strong collaboration skills, with experience partnering across Product, Design, Marketing, Brand, and Data Science
  • Demonstrated ability to lead in high-ambiguity environments and make sound decisions that balance technical trade-offs with business priorities
  • Deep understanding of accessibility, SEO, localization, performance optimization, and security best practices for web experiences, with familiarity in CMS platforms (e.g., Webflow, AEM), experimentation frameworks, and analytics tools
