Crafting a north star vision while building a UX team from scratch
In 2021, YouTube set up a new business and product area focused on Shopping, and Iram was brought on to hire and lead the design team. Despite being an early stage start-up the team sit within a scaled, mature entity.
In this talk Iram shares joys and challenges of talent acquisition, creating and fostering a team culture, building trust and getting quick wins with XFN - while concurrently establishing a UX POV and north star for the organisation. All that plus the added challenge of leading teams distributed across four geographies, with the social commerce space evolving rapidly.
