While a psychology background can be beneficial, it's not strictly necessary. What's crucial is your ability to collaborate effectively with psychologists and translate scientific concepts into user-friendly products. Demonstrating strong analytical skills and a genuine interest in organizational behavior can compensate for a lack of formal psychology education.
