Design team operations and metrics - Manage incoming Design Ops requests and keep team calendars and process documentation current. - Track measures related to Design Ops work, such as onboarding progress, tool access requests, participation in team programs, AI usage, and the regularity of craft sessions. - Share updates on program progress, recurring issues, and decisions needed from your manager or Design leaders. - Use approved AI tools for defined tasks when useful, following established safety guidance and checking the results. What you bring - Experience coordinating projects, programs, or operations for a design, product, or related team. - Ability to manage requests, scheduling, and follow-up independently while keeping work accurate and on time. - Clear communication and the ability to build trusting relationships with teammates and partners. - Experience supporting shared tools and keeping documentation useful and current. - Good judgment about when to solve a problem independently and when to ask for guidance.
