People need ideas in every job. In order to get paid and be legitimate you need to execute on those ideas. As a product storyteller, you need to help the group align their individual ideas and execute on a grander scale.

Honestly, I am in the same position trying to find my value at a small startup.

The article did a great job describing the overall value of the job, but lacked any specific ways to contribute. However, a small company needs a lot of help. I think first try to understand your strengths align with the goals of the company, especially how you can help your peers.

Then contribute what you can whether its writing, code, art, or whatever. Use the means of communication that helps you and your team succeed.
