Job Description

• Design and lead multi-phase, mixed-methods research programs — from early generative discovery through evaluative testing — calibrated to what each project and client actually needs to learn • Select and defend method choices: know when a survey is the right answer and when it's a crutch, when you need fieldwork and when a remote interview will do • Synthesize across studies to identify patterns that aren't visible at the individual-study level — connecting dots across users, workflows, and time • Identify the questions the team hasn't thought to ask yet, and make the case for why they matter • Lead journey mapping, service blueprinting, mental modeling, and other systems-level research artifacts that help product and engineering teams see the full picture • Integrate qualitative findings with quantitative and behavioral data — knowing how to combine the two to tell a more complete story • Build and maintain a living research repository that makes past insights findable, reusable, and genuinely used • Apply AI-powered tools to accelerate synthesis, recruitment, and documentation — thoughtfully and with appropriate skepticism • Serve as the primary user advocate in product planning, roadmap conversations, and design critiques — not as a gatekeeper, but as someone who helps the team hold complexity • Partner with designers to translate research findings into design direction, and with PMs to translate them into prioritization rationale • Present findings to client leadership in ways that shift perspective — not just reports, but stories that change how decisions get made • Coach designers and junior researchers on research methods, synthesis techniques, and how to have productive conversations with users • Develop frameworks, templates, and norms that improve how the whole team conducts and communicates research • Champion a culture of curiosity and evidence across client organizations — helping PMs and engineers become more research-literate, not just research-dependent

Job Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional UX research experience with a strong track record of leading initiatives that measurably influenced product strategy or business direction
  • Deep expertise across a broad research toolkit — generative and evaluative, qualitative and quantitative — with the judgment to know when to use each
  • Experience designing multi-phase research programs, not just individual studies
  • Background in healthcare, regulated industries, or complex enterprise software strongly preferred; direct experience with clinical workflows, payer systems, or care delivery a significant plus
  • Experience conducting research with users who are navigating high-stakes, high-complexity systems (healthcare, financial services, government services, etc.)
  • Comfortable in embedded, long-term client engagements — building relationships with product and engineering partners alongside design colleagues
  • Comfortable also leading consulting-style engagements — building and managing relationships with client stakeholders and leading small teams of other UX professionals

Benefits

  • medical, dental & vision coverage
  • health spending accounts
  • voluntary benefits
  • leave of absence policies
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • 401(k) program with employer contribution
  • Flexible work schedules and time-off policy
  • company equipment for all new full-time US-based remote employees
