Design Principal
Design Principal is the highest non-executive technical role in the IBM designer career framework. They are top technical practitioners who take on leadership positions to fulfill specific missions in their business unit. Their roles involve the advancement of design through scalable and reusable artifacts, thought leadership and intellectual property, and driving their organization’s utilization of design and design thinking. Design Principals also contribute to developing IBM’s design practices, initiatives, technical vitality, and reputation both internal and external to the company.

Comprised of the company’s technical and managerial design executives, the Design Leadership Board receives an extensive application form, a portfolio of work, and executive references for each candidate and then goes through a meticulous and thorough review process to determine which candidates meet the high bar of being appointed IBM Design Principal.
