As a Sr. UX Researcher, you will:

  • Drive and execute all stages of research: from recruitment and participant communication to conducting studies, analyzing results, and delivering insights.

  • Develop impactful artifacts tailored to project needs, such as research plans, screeners, interview guides, reports, journey maps, personas, highlight reels, data visualizations, and mixed-method summaries.

  • Present research readouts to client partners and executives to influence decision-making.

  • Facilitate alignment workshops and support cross-functional collaboration to ensure insights are fully embedded in product strategy.

    What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience conducting UX research to uncover insights, identify unmet needs, and improve product outcomes.

  • Proficiency in a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods, with the ability to choose the right approach for each project.

  • Empathetic listening skills and the ability to deliver an unbiased, user-centered point of view.

  • Experience designing and executing inclusive participant recruitment strategies.

  • Basic understanding of effective design principles and how research informs UX and product decisions.

  • Strong portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your research process, storytelling, and impact.

  • Excellent storytelling and presentation skills that bring research to life and inspire action.

    Mainly if you bring the following, you're a superstar in our eyes

  • Solid experience with mobile-first, native app experiences (iOS/Android), including familiarity with platform conventions and user behaviors.

  • Demonstrated success in consumer-facing (B2C) research, especially in emotionally resonant, growth-oriented, or conversion-driven experiences.

  • Deep domain expertise in banking or fintech, with a strong grasp of regulatory requirements, trust signals, and accessibility best practices.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

AI Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your Market Value in Seconds

Why your 2024 salary data is already outdated “Am I being paid what I’m worth?” It is the question that creeps in whenever you update your CV, see a former colleague announce a punchy pay rise on LinkedIn, or notice a recruiter slide into your inbox with a role that looks eerily similar to your current one—only advertised at £20k more.
