    • Support user researchers and advise other colleagues how to get the best from user research
    • Promote Hippo's people-centred design offer both internally and externally

    Skills and experience that you need

    • Expertise in applying user research methodologies across different environments
    • Experience of working in multidisciplinary Agile teams to design and deliver people-centred services
    • Working knowledge of how to research of accessibility needs or assisted digital needs
    • Proven experience of championing user research / user-centred design / service design approaches
    • Experience of mentoring/training other user researchers
    • Advanced communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to manage conflict and convey difficult messages with tact and sensitivity
    • A good understanding of other Agile roles across design, product and tech
    • Strong consultancy and leadership skills, and confidence in exploring problem spaces with clients to determine the most appropriate way forward
