AI for this role:
Our Product & UX team uses AI as a regular part of how work gets done, not as a novelty, and not as a shortcut, but as a genuine upgrade to the quality and speed of the work itself.
- In practice, that looks like pulling live context from your project management, design, and documentation tools so you're not writing requirements from a blank page.
- It looks like grounding priorities in data before bringing work to the roadmap, and spinning up a working prototype when a slide deck would take longer and say less.
- It looks like automating the repetitive parts of your workflow so the team spends its time on work that actually requires a human.
- And it looks like building prompt systems and workflow patterns that you share with the team, because good practices shouldn't stay siloed.
You don't need to have used every tool on day one. We do expect genuine curiosity, a willingness to build and share what you learn, and the discipline to own every output you put your name on, however it was made.
