You will lead an area team to deliver those experiences, driving design alignment and collaboration across creative disciplines, as well as unblocking and empowering all members on the Commerce & Rewards team. You will collaborate closely with the Domain Leadership group and your peer experience leaders to ensure alignment and integration with the other Systems domain features.
