Understand how to use the current design system best to ensure consistency across platforms and contribute to its continuous improvement.
• Driving User-Centricity: Draw insights from research and data, and know how to turn those insights into tangible solutions. Build relationships and advocate for the user when collaborating with cross-functional teams in product, engineering, and marketing.
• Collaboration: Be a positive role model and culture carrier within the studio as well as an advocate for design within the Lightspeed organization.

• An acute level of self‑awareness and deep empathy - for both the customer and your team’s goals.
• A deep curiosity and ability to consider product strategy and vision. You don’t just care about “how it looks,” or “what we should design,” but “why are we designing this at all?”
