• Own information architecture across all surfaces. Maintain a coherent IA across new and legacy platform areas. Audit existing structures, find the fracture points, and resolve them with a long-term foundation in mind. • Set and carry cross-swimlane UX standards. Operate horizontally across every product design swimlane, ensuring structural UX thinking is applied consistently — everywhere the product lives, not just where attention happens to land. • Be the quality checkpoint for prototypes. Review prototypes across product areas as a structural-integrity gate, so work moves forward faster and with confidence — and nothing ships with structural debt baked in. • Champion a blueprint-first design motion. As the org adopts a blueprint-first approach (defining the what and how in low fidelity before any high-fidelity layer), you'll be the keeper of the bar — ensuring every output meets our UX, IA, and best-practice standards. • Elevate the design practice. Coach and model what strong structural thinking looks like, leveling up the team so it builds things right from the start rather than requiring correction after the fact. • Build the UX foundation for AI products. Partner closely with the AI product team to ensure the UX layer is structured, scalable, and ready to support intelligent product experiences. • Hold platform integrity — old and new. Maintain the standard across the current platform and future builds, progressively bringing legacy areas up to standard. • Transfer knowledge and level the team. Spread UX architecture thinking throughout the design org, building a team that constructs correctly from the start.
