Understand what users need, and help your team understand it, too.

In Days 30 – 60, your focus will shift to starting research and design on a new feature set for our mobile app. You will work with internal and external stakeholders to understand their needs, pain points, and whether your proposed solution will solve their problem.

In Days 60 – 90, you will continue to refine and finalize concepts. You will update any current UX artifacts including user personas or competitive matrices based on your research findings.

You will assist development during regular scrum ceremonies by providing them quick solutions to unblock their work. You will work with your UX Lead to start defining your career goals and path at Unanet.
