This one does not. As the dedicated Senior UX Researcher for, an inventory forecasting, planning, and reporting platform used by internal teams at our client, you will own the research for a single product from discovery through validation and have the room to do it properly.

You will sit on the UX team for product development, working alongside interaction designers, visual designers, and another researcher, and partnering closely with product managers and developers. Research here covers both sides of the work: digging into the problem before requirements are written, then testing what gets built to confirm it actually solves that problem.

This is a seat for a true researcher who wants to use more than usability tests and interviews. You will be trusted to choose the right method for the question, explain your findings clearly to stakeholders at every level, and help mentor other researchers and shape research standards across platforms.

The team is collaborative and low-drama, and your background in psychology, behavioral science, anthropology, or a traditional UX path is welcome.

Required Skills and Experience Experience Minimum 3 years in a dedicated UX research role, with a research position held for a meaningful stretch within the last 3 years. Experience mentoring or leading other researchers, or a clear aptitude for it. Experience with internal tools or customer-facing products.
