UX Manager
About The Position
Plymouth Rock Assurance is looking for a hands-on Principal UX Manager to lead UX design across our web, mobile, agent, and service experiences. You'll set a UX vision and deliver it through iterative, measurable improvements, while leading a team through the most significant change the design discipline has seen in a generation. If you lead by example, are energized by AI rather than threatened by it, and want to build how UX works next, we want to hear from you. AI is fundamentally changing how design gets made and shipped, and this role leads that change on our team. You will: Use AI tools to turn designs into working code: generating production-quality front-end components and interactive prototypes from designs, and closing the gap between design intent and what ships. Use AI to connect our design system to the codebase, keeping tokens, components, and documentation in sync between design tools and code, and treating the coded system as the source of truth. Apply AI across the design workflow, including research synthesis, rapid concepting, content, prototyping, and accessibility review, while holding a high bar for quality and judgment. Redefine team workflows and roles as AI shifts the designer's work toward problem framing, systems thinking, and validation, and coach the team through that shift. Design AI-powered customer and agent experiences, such as chat, assistants, and AI-driven servicing, with an eye to trust, transparency, and regulatory expectations. Stay current on emerging AI design and development tools, evaluate them pragmatically, and bring the ones that work into practice. We are looking for someone who sees AI as core to the future of UX and is actively adopting it now. Candidates should be prepared to show real examples.
