Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, product management, engineering, data science) to define research goals and scope for projects. Manage and execute each step of the research process, including study planning, discovery, participant recruitment, conducting research activities and analysis, reporting, and communication. Synthesize research findings into actionable insights and communicate them clearly to stakeholders. Support the Sr. UX Research Strategist in developing research roadmaps and aligning research with business goals. Contribute to the creation, adoption, and improvement of research practices, methods, and guidelines.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in HCI, Psychology, Sociology, or a related discipline. Proficiency in a range of research methods (e.g., usability testing, ethnographic studies, heuristic evaluations, card sorting, A/B testing), and the ability to apply or combine them effectively. Strong listening, analytical, and organizational skills. Experience with survey platforms and analysis tools (e.g., Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Excel, Tableau). Experience with qualitative research gathering tools (e.g., Dscout, usertesting.com). Ability to translate complex findings into clear, compelling narratives and visualizations. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional environments. Working knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design practices. Enthusiasm for a team-oriented, collaborative, highly innovative, and creative environment. Interest in conducting research across different technology/device focus areas.
