About the Role:
You'll be the first UX researcher at Cameo, helping us to better understand our user needs and motivations. Once you understand those motivations, you will inform product experiments, designs, and ultimately build.

- Be confident in sharing your opinions and insight with the team- you’re on the front line after all!
- Always be honest and have a hunger to learn more, beat the competition, and take prideful ownership in everything you do.
