Your Homework
Seek out some UX or design professionals in your organization and ask how you can help them with their project definition work. Also, start building a portfolio of your work to showcase the type of work you can do for organizations (excluding confidential and proprietary information out, of course).
Finally, take an online course in UX design and seek out local design associations and meetups to expand your knowledge in this area.
