A Day in the Life of a UX Manager (Panel Discussion)

This is the rescheduled event from September. You will need to RSVP again.

This month, we’ll be exploring the role of a UX Manager!

At a high level, UX Managers are the ones overseeing design teams, mentoring designers, guiding business strategies, and serving as liaisons between other levels of management, departments, or clients. Are you curious to see what a career growth path in the UX field is like? Are you wondering what’s different about a UX management roles compared to other, traditional creative management roles? Come join us as we learn more about what UX Managers do and see if it’s something that interests you.

Because the role can vary so much, we’ll be switching the format to a panel discussion. Our panelists represent a variety of UX managerial roles and have diverse backgrounds and experiences at different types of companies.
