Discover Needs: Drive research to uncover user and customer insights in pilot programs.
Design Experiences: Build personas, map user journeys, design flows, and create prototypes with cutting-edge tools.
Prototype & Test: Quickly build, test, and iterate prototypes with users and clients.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: You think beyond silos, take initiative, and drive the product’s success as a whole.
Stay Fresh & Tech-Savvy: Constantly scout and integrate new UX methods and especially AI-driven tools into your workflow.

Other ideal characteristics include some who:
Demonstrates strategic thinking + hands-on execution: from problem definition to tested solution.
Curious about people: interested in the user “how” and “why” and practice of evidenced based techniques to programs/applications, motivating user behavioral changes.
Startup experience:
Thrives in ambiguous and collaborative inter-disciplinary environments, creating clarity and structure for themselves and the team.
Brings broad UX expertise (qualitative & quantitative research, personas, journey mapping, UI design, prototyping).
Is proactive and self-driven – not task-based, but visionary and opportunity-driven.
Has strong technical skills (Figma, Miro, Maze, Condense or similar) and a passion for AI in UX.
Mobility: Open to frequent travel (at least 1-2/month) to US pilot locations for on-site research and stakeholder sessions; and international travel (bi-annually) for collaboration and internal planning
Is fluent in English (spoken & written).
Bonus: strong interest in health and fitness
