You are accountable for the quality of what your team ships, the growth of the people on it, and the design bar across the products in your domain.\nThis is a hands-on management role. You set direction, coach designers through hard problems, and hold the craft bar in reviews. You partner daily with product management, engineering and UX research, and you represent design in the forums where scope and sequence get decided. Where design has historically joined the conversation late, you move it earlier.\nTo succeed, you need judgement about which problems deserve your team's time, the credibility to hold a design position with senior partners, and the discipline to build a team that raises its own bar. Our environment is ambiguous and fast-moving. It rewards people who take ownership before being asked.\nKey job responsibilities\nPeople Leadership and Team Building :\nManage, coach and grow a team of designers across levels, with clear expectations and honest, specific feedback\nOwn hiring for your team, from bar-raising loop participation through onboarding and ramp\nBuild career paths that develop craft and leadership together, and give designers work that stretches them\nCreate a team culture where designers critique each other's work directly and improve it Design Quality and Craft Bar :\nHold the quality bar for everything your team ships, across interaction design, visual craft, content and accessibility\nRun design reviews that raise the work rather than approve it, and make the standard explicit enough that others can apply it\nDrive adoption of shared design system components and patterns so quality scales without your presence\nPartner with UX research so evidence, not preference, settles design debates Prioritisation and Capacity :\nDecide what your team takes on and what it declines, against the domain's roadmap and the team's declared investment split\nSize design effort early enough that it lands in product plans rather than arriving as a constraint\nMatch the engagement model to the ask, whether embedded, allocated, advisory or small-fix, and make the choice visible to partners\nKeep the team's commitments, owners and dates current so capacity is legible to the wider organisation Partnership and Influence :\nRepresent design in roadmap, intake and toll-gate forums, and hold a position when the evidence supports it\nTranslate customer pain into a case senior partners act on, using the team's customer value and evidence framework\nBuild the working relationships across product and engineering that let design shape decisions early\nModel behaviour that exemplifies Amazon Leadership Principles A day in the life Your day starts with your team. You spend it in design reviews and one-to-ones, unblocking designers on the problems that need a second pair of eyes and pushing on the ones that need a higher bar. You move between a small number of standing forums where the work actually gets shaped: a leadership sync where priorities get set, working sessions with product and engineering partners where scope and sequence get agreed, and an open session where anyone across the business can bring a design question. In between you are in the work itself, reviewing flows and prototypes, weighing accessibility and content alongside visual craft, and making sure the standards your team sets are written clearly enough for other people to apply them. You decide what your team takes on and what it declines, and you size design effort early enough that it lands in a plan rather than arriving as a constraint. Some days you spend more time defending a design position than producing one. Both matter. About the team The Talent Solutions team is made up of forward-thinking UX designers and researchers.
