Our client, the nation’s largest retailer, is hiring a Lead Design Researcher who will conduct UX research that influences their product roadmaps and informs design. You represent the perspective of users to help understand their needs, motivations, and pain points. The role responsibilities include the ability to run workshops, conduct generative and evaluative research, storytelling, and presenting deliverables to senior executives.

  2. Degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Psychology, Social Sciences, Market Research, or a related field with 5-7 years of job experience.
  3. Adaptability and a growth mindset, seeking out and welcoming feedback from senior leaders and managers.
  4. Ability to produce great work in short timeframes, multi-task across different projects and platforms, and adapt to the ever-changing priorities of the business.

You’ll make an impact by:

  1. Pulling from a broad toolkit of research methods, including live studies, un-moderated studies, field studies, participatory design, heuristic evaluations, and remote usability testing.
  2. Prioritizing key initiatives across stakeholder areas for actionable results.
  3. Solving complex problems with curiosity and openness.
  4. Proactively soliciting and leveraging competitive research, data, and analytics to inform design and business strategy.
  5. Thinking holistically through the entire ecosystem of end users and competitors.
  6. Switching gears from deep design thinking to rapid-fire execution.
  7. Having exceptional communication & presentation skills, both written and verbal.
