### My role as a Designer
As a Senior Product designet at GitLab, it is my job to:
* Deeply understand the technology and features of the stage group to which you are assigned, and have working knowledge of the end-to-end GitLab product.
* Proactively identify strategic UX needs within your stage group, and engage other Product Designers within your stage group to help you create deliverables like journey maps, storyboards, competitive analyses, and personas.
* Proactively identify both small and large usability issues within your stage group, and help influence your Product Manager to prioritize them.
* Proactively identify user research needs, and conduct evaluative research with guidance from the UX Research team.
* Broadly communicate the results of UX activities within your stage group to the UX department, cross-functional partners within your stage group, and other interested GitLab team-members using clear language that simplifies complexity.
* Mentor other members of the UX department, both inside and outside of your stage group.
* Actively contribute to the Pajamas Design System.
* Engage in social media efforts, including writing blog articles and responding on Twitter, as appropriate.
* Interview potential UX candidates.
