Description

Our people work differently depending on their jobs and needs. From hybrid working to flexible hours, we have plenty of options that help our people to thrive.

This role is based in the United Kingdom and as such all normal working days must be carried out in the United Kingdom.

Join us as a UX Researcher

Join an open and collaborative environment, where you'll be helping to develop a programme of research for productrelated humancentred design (HCD) challenges
You'll work closely with other members of the product team to deliver consistent, efficient, and enjoyable experiences
This is a great opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills while making a real difference for our customers

What you'll do:

As a UX Researcher, you'll be leading, defining and conducting investigations into customer experiences for our current and prospective products.

These will be delivered across multiple platforms, such as desktop, web, mobile and tablet devices and for both browser-based experiences and native apps.

Working closely with product owners, UX designers, visual designers, and other stakeholders, you'll be using a variety of techniques and tools to elicit the insight necessary to make informed and HCD decisions.

Additionally, you'll be:

Contributing to the development of highlevel storyboards and journey mapping to communicate goals, motives, and the means by which groups of customers use, or will use, a given product
Providing HCD recommendations based on research insight or recognised principles in psychology or ergonomics, supporting the design of solutions
Using multiple research techniques and providing the design team with multiple sources to understand and empathise with customer or user needs
Acting as a champion of HCD by recommending the best possible UX research practice, principles and processes

The skills you'll need:

You'll need to have experience of supporting HCD processes and using both qualitative and quantitative research techniques to address design challenges for new and existing products or services.

We'll expect you to have the ability to use UX design research tools, including DScout, Optimal Workshop, Dovetail, Usability Hub and video editing software.

You'll also be creative in your problem solving and be able to work well as part of an Agile team environment.

We'll also be looking for:

Knowledge of research techniques, including UX evaluative testing, focus groups, diary studies, ethnographic observation, survey design and cocreation workshops
The ability to deliver relevant and effective insight under varying project constraints
Experience supporting HCD processes for both desktop and mobile, by leading research design and creating research material

Excellent communication and collaboration skills across all levels with an ability to champion design thinking and influence key stakeholders
