Collaborate with Product Management on roadmap and strategy, working as a tireless advocate for the end user and helping to balance those needs with those of the business

Meet complex design challenges by participating alongside engineering, QA, and product in LeanUX-inspired activities such as design studios, provisional personas, and story mapping

Ongoing, close collaboration with team members during the sprint, including impromptu discussions and brainstorming activities, as well as pairing with engineers on design
