Onfido is the new identity standard for the internet. We empower people around the globe to reach services they love and need simply, speedily and safely – whether they’re renting a car or opening a bank account or completing a high-value transaction where identity is key. We built a full-service suite of AI-powered identity verification solutions with fairness and inclusiveness at their core, and were awarded ‘Outstanding Leader in Accessibility’ and ‘Best Innovation in Algorithmic Bias Mitigation’ awards at CogX. 

Onfido is an established pre-IPO technology company with a prominent position in the global marketplace that has been repeatedly recognized for excellence in performance and innovation. In 2021 we were awarded ‘Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Hot Company’ by CyberDefense Global Infosec Awards, ‘Fraud Prevention Innovation of the Year’ at the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards, and named to the CB Insights Fintech 250 for the fourth year running. We've received over $200 million in funding from investors including TPG Growth, Microsoft, and Salesforce to achieve our vision. We partner with thousands of businesses to help millions access services every week – from billion dollar institutions to hypergrowth unicorns. We support identities from 195 countries, and 2,500+ document types. Our recent growth is fuelled by continued increasing demand in the United States – where we’ve grown in year-over-year sales by 264% – as more enterprise organisations accelerate their digital transformation plans with Onfido. 

Our goal is to work together to promote and celebrate an inclusive and diverse community. Collectively, all Onfidoers are committed to creating an environment where everyone can be themselves, and where differences are celebrated. We encourage people from all backgrounds and cultures to come together to solve some of the world's most interesting problems.

We’re looking for a Junior User Researcher to support our user research practice and help Onfido identify for everyone. 

In this role, you’ll: 

- Facilitate research for our three core user groups: End-users, internal users and our clients
- Participate in all aspects of user research and research operations including growing our research panel, developing briefs and screeners, facilitating research and synthesizing and sharing results.

As a Junior User Researcher, we understand you may be early in your career, so we’ll provide learning opportunities, mentorship and support as you develop. You’ll start by supporting on smaller, well-scoped pieces of work and as you build confidence, you’ll take on more responsibility and greater challenges. 

You’ll be joining a kind, inclusive, and mature Design & Research team with experienced leadership. You’ll work alongside Senior Researchers who’ll provide you with the mentorship and support you need to do your best work and to grow as a professional. 

We have engineers and designers working in our London and Lisbon offices and are open to candidates in the UK, Portugal, Germany or France.

What you'll do at Onfido:

  • Design, organise and conduct primary research across our key user groups, using a variety of methods
  • Shadow more experienced researchers on ongoing and new projects and take on progressively more responsibility for different parts of the research process over time
  • Own project operations to support project success: recruitment, note-taking, data analysis and management, insight generation and insight communication across a diverse portfolio of projects
  • Develop a rigorous approach to data collection, synthesis, and storytelling through our research repository tool
  • Be a reliable and credible voice of users, providing guidance and influencing decisions that impact Onfido’s direction as a company
  • Contribute to the high quality of our work through attention to detail, asking the right questions, identifying opportunities for and setting up process efficiencies, and problem-solving
  • Be a key contributor in growing the maturity of our User Research practice.

What you’ll learn about:

  • Research planning 
  • Research methods and data collection
  • Analysing outcomes
  • Storytelling and communicating

About You - We don’t expect everyone to have every type of experience on our list. If you have a lot of the relevant skills and think you’d be good at the role, we’d love to hear from you. We love people with unconventional career paths!

  • Have a basic understanding of qualitative research methodologies and have started to get your feet wet supporting (or in some cases leading) primary research projects
  • Understand some or all of the research process and how product teams can use research insights and data to identify opportunities, validate decisions and measure the value they provide to the business
  • Have a basic understanding of or some experience with user-centred design and delivery practices
  • Have a basic understanding of or some experience with user-centred design and delivery practices

Key attributes we’re looking for:

  • Organised, resourceful, with a keen eye for detail and a real desire to learn and hone your craft
  • Positive energy, enthusiasm and an eye for innovation - we are looking for self-motivated, intellectually curious people who are excited about solving big problems
  • A strong communicator who is able to distill complex concepts and ideas into clear, actionable messages
  • Keen to grow and take on a progressively greater degree of responsibility and autonomy in designing and delivering timely user research for product teams
  • Passionate about unpacking messy problems and advocating for customer and user needs with key stakeholders and decision-makers
What Next?

Apply! We’ll then assess your application against the role and other applicants. If successful, we’ll begin a two-way conversation where we can both find out a bit more about each other.
