  • Optimizing research operations that scale with the growing organization

You will join a growing team of exceptional researchers in molding an ideal research practice in an organization that already understands its value.

WHAT YOU HAVE:

  • 5+ years of experience as a UX research practitioner post-Bachelor’s degree
  • 3+ years of managing a UX research team
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills
  • Extensive knowledge of how, and when, to employ various research methods (e.g. generative/evaluative, quant/qual, informal/formal, etc.)
  • Strong penchant for documentation, and knowledge-sharing
  • Clear and concise communication skills
    • Nice to have:
      • Experience building a UX research practice in a high-growth environment from scratch
      • Experience working on at a high-growth SaaS company, particularly Enterprise SaaS
      • Experience working closely with Product, Engineering, Product Marketing, and Data teams
