The Product Design Architect partners with Research, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Data Analytics to ensure our most important product design initiatives are grounded in an overarching experience strategy with a clear line of sight to customer and business outcomes.  The Architect is the lead user experience expert in charge of creating the blueprint for end-to-end customer experiences related to a core area of activity in the organization (e.g, Payments; Loans; Consumer Deposits and Credit Cards). 

​

The UX Architect works with these partners to translate this blueprint into tangible, memorable experiences that align with the organization’s strategy, and that aim to achieve its mid-to-long term goals. The UX architect leads, facilitates, guides and mentors teams to be more customer-centric, experimental, holistic, and to constantly challenge themselves to deliver outstanding new experiences.

The UX Architect is a leader within an Experience Team, working closely with the design executive for that Experience Team in developing the strategy and direction. They will be expected to lead initiatives which bring together senior stakeholders to drive collaboration, understanding and decision making.  This role does not have direct reports but will be expected to lead multidisciplinary teams in a variety of design initiatives from customer insights development to prototyping new digital experiences.
