You’re thinking about what’s next in your content career. Maybe you’re considering a content design manager position.
Have you considered a UX manager role, too?
No? Why not?
“I wouldn’t know how to help designers from other disciplines.”
“I only know visual designers who move into those roles.”
“I don’t think I can do it.”
What if I told you: yes, you can. And, yes, you should. You’re meant for UX design leadership.
Part reflection, part pep talk, this talk draws on real-world experiences to show how to move from a content IC to a senior UX leader managing multi-disciplinary design teams.
In this session, we’ll cover:
• Why content designers make the best UX managers (or directors or VPs)
• How to gauge if moving into a UX manager or design lead role is right for you, and ways to advocate for and make that transition
• What skills overlap between content leadership roles and other UX leadership roles, and new skills to grow in
• Strategies for supporting designers who practice a different craft than you
