About the role:
As a Lead Product Designer within our Guest Experience team, your mission is to deliver best-in-class digital shopping experiences for our guests by delivering both functional proof of concepts and in-market launches in partnership with product, engineering, and other cross-functional peers and leaders through UX sprint frameworks (i.e., discovery, co-creation, future-visioning).

You understand guest needs, omni-channel retail, and the role that UX plays in driving engagement, loyalty, delight, and trust while delivering business results. You are proactive, curious, ask questions, and are driven to connect the dots.
