In addition to shipping great work, we are equally committed to a design culture that is inspiring, collaborative, and fun – and this person will also have leadership opportunities to shape how we work.

Sr Product Designers at Disney are resourceful, imaginative problem solvers who collaborate inclusively with a range of engineering, product management, and other teammates and stakeholders throughout the design process.

- Consistently deliver work that is well-thought-out and aligned with project goals.
- Demonstrate sustained productivity and meet project deadlines by accurately estimating the time required for tasks.
- Set an example for designers in your orbit through mentorship and open, honest feedback.
