Strategic roles at a startup!

You are an independent and strategic thinker and like to analyze all the options possible and all the outcomes of each option. This will help you be a great UX researcher, UX strategist, service designer, content designer, information architect, or product manager.

You like to see the bird’s eye view of a project, follow the end-to-end design process, and see how all the dots connect! You prefer informal communication styles and a laid back work culture, although you are a hard worker and are sure to go above and beyond when tackling daily tasks. 

You like to take ownership of a variety of different aspects of the product being built and have no problem wearing multiple hats!
