AI UX/UI Designer/Researcher
Michelin
Mission
- Move AI uses from individual experimentation to collective practices that hold up in production.
- The scope covers user research, interface design, content, and the design system.
- The person works alongside the teams, without replacing UX Leads or imposing a single tool on everyone.
Understand And Build On What Already Exists
- Go into the hubs, observe practices and collect concrete examples. Identify what delivers real value, what remains fragile and what is duplicated.
- Expected deliverables: a map of current uses, documented examples and a shortlist of topics to pool first.
Build And Harden The Workflows
- Work on real projects to design repeatable ways of working: inputs, steps, tools, human checks, expected outputs and limits.
- A workflow must be usable by someone other than its author, at a verifiable level of quality.
- Expected deliverables: tested workflows, reusable templates and explicit validation criteria.
Organise Their Day-to-Day Use
- Make practices easy to find, understand and maintain. Clarify who owns them, how they evolve and when they should be retired.
- Align uses with the design system and with internal frameworks governing tools and data.
- Expected deliverables: a maintained reference space, clear ownership and a lightweight process for flagging issues.
Work With The Teams And Pass It On
- Support designers on their deliverables, pair with them, make trade-offs visible and help local champions become autonomous.
- Training can help, but it is not the purpose of the role. Success shows in the practices that remain once the person has left the room.
Measure The Real Contribution
- Assess the impact on working time, rework, deliverable quality and team autonomy. Tell an impressive demo apart from a lasting gain.
- Expected deliverables: before/after comparisons and reasoned decisions to continue, adapt or stop a use.
What The Role Is Not
- This is not a trend-watching or evangelism role disconnected from projects, nor a job producing training courses or prompt libraries.
- The person is not expected to build every technical integration alone, nor to approve every team experiment.
- They must be technical enough to understand, prototype and engage with IT, without losing their product design expertise.
First Expected Results: Three-Month Proposal
- Month one: understand the hubs' practices, identify champions and select a few use cases based on observed problems.
- Month two: test two or three workflows on projects, with a baseline and quality criteria defined with the teams.
- Month three: have at least one workflow adopted by another team, document the conditions for success and set up its maintenance.
- The first sign of success is not the number of people trained: it is a useful practice, adopted elsewhere, with no permanent dependence on its author.
