Support from a manager that truly understands your work.
You’re on the right path, but what if you could have an additional manager and sparring partner who knows the terrain of UX research inside and out?
The Bonus Manager: A Coach for UX Researchers
You’re brilliant at what you do, but something is missing.

This is where a Bonus Manager can help. I will work alongside your official manager to offer specialized, expert guidance.
How does this work?
You will keep your regular 1:1’s with your own manager, but also meet with me once a month. You decide the agenda, the goals you want to work towards and what is important in that moment. Kathleen will provide you with support, knowledge and guidance to thrive as a UX researchers.
