- Comfortable working solo with limited oversight - strong self-management and initiative.
- Detail-oriented, analytical mindset with the ability to see both big-picture flows and edge case specifics.
- Confident in engaging with all stakeholders and developers alike.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Own and lead the requirements gathering process for the UI and UX of mobile applications.

- Advise and be clear on what can operate on a mobile device and how to integrate into its "standard" functionality, like screen notifications and privacy/location settings
- Break down complex user journeys into clear, streamlined experiences suited to mobile constraints.
- Ensure solutions are aligned with UX/UI best practices and technical feasibility within mobile environments.
- Work closely with developers to clarify requirements and address technical constraints.
- Evaluate proposed solutions and flag issues related to usability, edge cases, or platform-specific limitations.
