Job Summary

Create, develop, and own the design of the core experiences across all devices and products globally: the consumer experience, the partner experience, and the developer experience. Collaborate with the other design teams to weave all the products (Entertainment, Sports, Connected Living, Commerce and Beyond TV) into a single, total experience - an ecosystem where the products are great independently, but also better together. Enable the creation of multi-platform designs for our content products and the syndication of our aggregation products to multiple media brands worldwide. The role is global, responsible for the design of the UI for the entertainment products and the connected living products (broadband, WiFi, and smart home) for Xfinity and Sky, as well as major media brands around the world including Foxtel, Rogers, and Multichoice. Strategically, this role will bring together two product areas as a single UX and UI experience, creating an ecosystem out of entertainment and connected living products - a quad-play bundle of entertainment, broadband, mobile, and smart home. This is strategically important for Xfinity and Sky as the individual premium products come under pressure from lower-cost alternatives (cord-cutting entertainment and wireless broadband). As there is no product team responsible for the ecosystem experience this position is a mix of design and product roles, so involves stakeholder management within the product team as well as with commercial teams and execs at Xfinity, Xumo, Sky, and other partners. This role is key in the battle for the 'UI for the home' against similar efforts from Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and other big tech companies.
