This role is posted across multiple locations: Chicago IL, McLean VA, New York NY, Richmond VA, and Riverwoods IL. The salary range shown ($245,100–$335,700) spans the full spread across all locations; the New York range ($294,100–$335,700) is the highest.
The role manages managers (3+ years required) and sets org-wide content design vision across a major product portfolio, supporting a Principal-level seniority classification despite the 'Senior Director' title mapping to that band.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is primarily a design leadership/management position (11-3021), but has deep roots in UX/content design craft (15-1255). 11-3021 was chosen as the primary because direct reports, executive stakeholder management, and org-wide strategic direction are the dominant day-to-day activities.
Figma and AI-assisted content workflows appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
