@khanhlam
I lead UX design teams, turning complex products into intuitive, data-informed experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Design Manager focused on building seamless, end-to-end user experiences for complex platforms. I lead commerce product design across acquisition, monetization, partnerships, retention, and localization—always anchored in what the end-user needs.
I’ve helped drive major platform outcomes, including pivoting Peacock to paid-only SVOD 18 months ahead of schedule and growing paid subscribers from near-zero to 30M+. I also led design of acquisition funnels, iterating on sign-up flows, upsell mechanics, and first-party data collection through A/B experimentation.
I’m known for unifying and scaling design infrastructure—redesigning Help Center discoverability and self-service resolution with a new design system, updating brand standards, and improving elastic search and chatbot initiatives. I’ve also scaled tooling and front-end tooling experiences by integrating design systems for global expansion.
As a people leader, I’ve scaled teams from 6 to 16 and coached design talent through hiring, mentorship, and structured frameworks. I’ve held leadership roles from Head/Director of Product Design and UX to Principal UX Consultant, and I bring a cross-functional, analytics-informed approach to partnering with engineering, product, marketing, and data science.
