You should be confident in providing research guidance to stakeholders, teammates and client teams.
If you love solving problems through an intensely collaborative research and design process—and can communicate those ideas clearly—you may be our ideal candidate. In applying for this job, you should have a strong grounding in foundational design research principles, portfolio pieces demonstrating your ability to plan and execute research for complex systems, and an innate interest in shaping our connected world.

- Conduct simple quantitative analysis and synthesis of data sets
- Work cross-functionally with software development, design, content strategy, data science, and marketing
- Facilitate research debriefs, brainstorming exercises, and/or other workshops that utilize design thinking approaches to fuel ideation and evaluate product design grounded in research findings
- Communicate research insights and recommendations in compelling and creative ways
- Establish user experience research documentation, best practices, techniques, processes and methods for clients
- Prioritize own work, knowing when and what efforts to take on
- Strategic thinker able to work through ambiguity and jump into complex processes, untangle user journeys and identify both short and long term improvement opportunities
- Appropriately engage stakeholders throughout your research process and efforts, bringing them into workshops when needed
- Able to get up to speed in a complex industry quickly
Preferred Requirements
- Portfolio of work demonstrating experience researching for complex systems and user experiences
- 5+ years of relevant experience in the UX design field
- Uncommon attention to detail with focus on efficiency
- Proficiency with tools and applications that enable and supplement research efforts in remote environments (usability testing, card sorts, surveys, first click tests, diary studies, etc.)
- Experience in the financial industry
- Bring a growth mindset — comfortable and confident in skillset, but self-aware when knowing to reach out for help
