- Stay Fresh & Tech-Savvy: Constantly scout and integrate new UX methods and especially AI-driven tools into your workflow
- First 30 Days

- Visit client site(s) and experience pilot programs; start to inform opinions and identify opportunities
- Review existing research and materials
- First 60 Days
- Become the leading expert in and deliver an updated quarterly and annual UX research & design plan (personas, journey maps, opportunity areas)
- Run at least one user testing cycle and synthesize findings
- Establish clear routines for insight sharing with stakeholders
- First 90 Days

- Impact: Play a decisive role in shaping future innovations in global health & fitness at one of the world’s premier fitness brands
