• Develop and refine guidelines for how design work is initiated, reviewed, and delivered
• Engage with cross-functional partners to understand their needs and pain points and identify blockers, anticipate risks, and lead cross-team efforts to remove friction in the design and development process
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement by documenting best practices and driving post-mortem and retrospective activities
• Help track team bandwidth, resourcing gaps, and capacity signals in partnership with UX leadership
