  • Apply UX benchmarking methodologies and competitive research approaches in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Partner with external research vendors to support participant screening, recruitment, and study execution.
• Data Analysis & Insight Synthesis
  • Analyze and synthesize insights from diverse qualitative and quantitative data sources.
  • Balance statistical rigor with qualitative interpretation to produce meaningful, decision‑ready findings.
  • Prioritize insights and translate complex findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Collaboration & Communication
  • Partner closely with product managers, designers, engineers, and research operations to align research objectives and timelines.
  • Communicate findings clearly through well‑designed presentations, reports, videos, and other deliverables.
  • Influence product and design decisions through strong storytelling and data‑driven recommendations.
• Rapid Output Generation

  • Create high‑quality artifacts (presentations, videos, documents) that clearly communicate research outcomes to diverse stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (minimum) in a research‑centric field such as Human‑Computer Interaction, Psychology, Statistics, Data Science, Engineering, or a related discipline; Master’s degree preferred.
• 3–4 years of professional experience as a full‑time UX Researcher delivering clear, actionable insights in fast‑paced environments.
• Demonstrated mixed‑methods UX research experience, including qualitative and quantitative approaches.
• Proven experience conducting UX benchmark studies, competitive research, or equivalent evaluative research.
• Strong statistical understanding and ability to interpret quantitative results alongside qualitative findings.

• Exceptional project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience influencing cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Comfort working in rapidly changing, ambiguous environments and making clear, confident decisions.
