• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Threat Research, and Executive Leadership, influencing product strategy through user insights, design vision, and architectural thinking.
• Advocate for design at the leadership level, balancing user needs with technical and business constraints, and communicate design strategy, tradeoffs, and outcomes clearly to executive stakeholders.
