Role Definitions
https://github.com/buzzfeed/design/blob/master/product-design-roles.md
Associate
The associate level is focused on learning established processes and design patterns. Designers should seek out mentorship from other designers on the team as well as work directly with their manager on growth opportunities.
Professional
In order to move up to this level, Designers should hit each point marked with a *, plus any other 2. Designers and Managers should work together to define focus areas.
At this level, Designers take on work more independently while continuing to proactively give and receive feedback.
Senior
In order to move up to this level, Designers should hit each point marked with a *, plus any other 4. Designers and Managers should work together to define focus areas.
Senior Product Designers take design ownership of large projects and are leaders in their cross-discipline group. They assume responsibility for design quality across their immediate and adjacent product groups and collaborate with their group to define roadmaps and goals.
If a Senior Product Designer is executing in their role at a high level and are interested in the management track, they may manage a team of 1-2 designers. While managing, they will be expected to live up to the Tech Manager expectations and work with their direct manager to manage the careers of their direct reports and conduct performance reviews.
If a Senior Designer is excelling in people management and wants to transition to the management track they may be considered for an open role in Management when one arises.
Es gibt kaum noch strukturelle Hierarchien über Positionen. Es gibt allerdings natürliche Hierarchien über Kompetenz – diese sind nicht starr, sondern wechseln innerhalb des Teams je nach Situation. Dadurch entsteht geteilte und gemeinsame Verantwortung.
