Senior UX Researcher

We’re on a mission to give the whole world access to incredible experiences. What do people value the most from their trip to a new destination? It’s probably not the flight they took, nor the hotel they stayed in. People value experiences––visiting the Colosseum Underground, seeing the Vatican Museums, or taking a delicious street food tour of Rome. These experiences help people connect with their destination’s history and culture, creating memories that last a lifetime.

As a Senior UX Researcher, you will have a significant impact on our business as you will lead research efforts for an entire product group, through great prioritisation and enablement of others.
You’ll work directly with product, UX and group leadership and help us make a great impact in travelers’ lives.

Your responsibilities:
- Own the long-term research strategy for a product group. Work closely with product, design, and business partners to identify and prioritize research opportunities based on need and impact.
- Influence product decisions across all phases of the product development lifecycle from Discovery to Delivery.
- Train and empower UX peers and Product Managers on evaluative research methods on a variety of devices, including mobile and desktop.
- Plan, gather and analyze insights about our users through new studies and review of existing data.
- Apply a creative mix of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to facilitate a deep understanding for our customers.

Minimum qualifications:
- 5+ years of recent experience in a similar position, working in-house in a product company. Ideally in e-commerce or travel.
- B.A/B.S or M.A./M.S. in HCI, Cognitive Psychology, Social Science, Information Science, Anthropology or similar.
- Experience working with product teams and/or designers to drive insights into product solutions.
- Experience with all aspects of research, including study design, recruiting, moderation, analysis, and reporting.
- Knowledge of mixed methods with an emphasis on qualitative (lab-based and remote usability testing, iterative prototype testing, concept testing, interviews, and field research) and quantitative research (surveys, analytics, event tracking).
- Able to work independently and adapt research practices to meet the needs of a start-up environment (lean & results-driven). Experience partnering with data analysts/data scientists on research projects is a plus.
- You communicate fluently in English. International research experience is a plus.
- You have examples demonstrating past work experience and deliverables (e.g. study plans, metrics, reports).
