As a freelance Senior/Lead UX Strategist at Instrument, you’ll be a key contributor in defining the future of digital products and services. You’re a natural problem-solver with a passion for making the complex simple. You’re a great systems thinker, love to dive into the details, and have a strong intuition for what makes a product great. You uncover insights and opportunities everywhere and consistently add value, context and momentum to the work that we do. You are curious, love to learn, and have a passion for communicating with clarity and intention. But above all, you must value and enjoy working within a highly collaborative team. You believe in doing great work and being great to work with. Our project teams are small and you’ll be creating and pushing yourself each day.

In this particular project, you will aggregate and visualize data from various internal tools to support reporting and communication efforts across the organization. You will support discovery/insight synthesis to help determine the best data to serve up.
