  • 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.
