I would rate Empathy high on the list- unsure how you might test for that other than through examples, references and conversations. You may want a few service designers in that mix as well.

Got it. That’s a great insight. Will do some more research on that role.

While Obviously having an understanding of design and product is important, I don’t think those are the most important skills.

1. They need to be able to influence within the org to create buy in around a product vision
2. Grow and develop the design team to be able to buy into the bigger picture and stay excited
3. Clearly define and measure success

like

A combination of:
- thoroughly understanding, guiding, and communicating product strategy
- championing user needs and emphatically leading design that addresses those
- ability to identify, coach & leverage the (wide variety) of skills, talent & perspective of the team
- driving for alignment across all touchpoints & experiences the product provides; maintaining the highest altitude UX POV
