• Maintain and refine user personas, journey maps and other research artefacts to guide design strategy.
• Contribute to prototyping efforts, applying research insights to improve UX and UI experiences.
• Monitor market trends, competitor activities and emerging UX practices to inform research approaches and recommendations.
• Engage in agile/scrum processes, providing timely research inputs and updates to guide product development.

Are we the perfect match?
