What You’ll Be Doing

This includes strategy for both digital products/platforms and enterprise client-facing services.
- Own outcomes for one or more functional areas. Lead and develop team members, partner closely with cross-functional leaders, ensure high-quality execution, and translate company strategy into scalable, customer-centered solutions.
- Manage and mentor the product design team, fostering a high-performing culture of creativity, collaboration, and accountability. Provide strategic direction, constructive feedback, and professional development opportunities to ensure team mastery and success.

- Govern the evolution and consistency of the Chorus products’ brand identity (Chorus Signature Theme) across all Chorus products. Ensure visual design, tone of voice, and overall user experience cohesively reflect the Chorus products’ brand values and mission.
- Oversee the end-to-end product design lifecycle, from initial concept, AI-assisted building/prototyping, wireframing, high fidelity designing, and final handoff, ensuring the delivery of intuitive, accessible, and market-leading digital products and services.
- Establish and uphold rigorous design quality standards and practices throughout the organization. Implement robust review processes to ensure all design deliverables are consistent, high-quality, and align with brand and system guidelines.
