A day in the life
Your day is a blend of leading your team and rolling up your sleeves on high-impact work. You might start your morning coaching a designer through a complex workflow challenge, then jump into a design critique where you're helping the team refine features for our headcount management platform. Afternoons could involve partnering with finance teams across Amazon to understand their pain points, or diving into research sessions with CFO office users to validate new AI-powered features.
You'll spend time removing blockers for your team, tracking how our products are performing through accessibility metrics and user feedback, and collaborating with partners across the company to scale our design system adoption. Some days you're presenting UX strategy to senior leaders, other days you're hands-on prototyping a new concept or facilitating a co-creation workshop. The constant thread is solving real problems for finance professionals while developing your team to do their best work. Key focus areas include scaling enterprise patterns adoption, maintaining operational excellence through telemetry analysis, and preparing products for Amazon-wide and external customer deployment.
