Summary

DesignOps is changing, but into what? A strategic partner? An operational force? Or something in between? Have you ever felt that job titles say one thing, responsibilities suggest another, and expectations rarely match? In this session, I’ll share findings from a study of over 60 DesignOps job listings across the US, UK, and EU. We’ll look at how the role is being shaped by the market, sometimes clearly, sometimes confusingly. Together, we’ll explore patterns, contradictions, and opportunities, and ask not just where DesignOps is today, but where it truly belongs.
