Good storytelling starts with great listening. That means each role and every project has our audience in mind. Because the same people who design, develop, and deploy our products also happen to use them. To us, that speaks volumes.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
Revolutionizing the storytelling experience is just part of a UX Researcher's daily to-do list. You'll design and conduct comprehensive user studies to uncover deep insights about listener behaviors and preferences. Like us, you're customer obsessed, and every research question you pursue will be driven by your profound understanding and curiosity about the customer experience. Just when it seems a product is understood, you'll devise a new study to uncover hidden user needs.
ABOUT YOU
You immerse yourself in customers' experiences and the world around you to uncover deep insights and drive meaningful innovations. As an expert in research methodologies, you guide teams to valuable discoveries, leaving no question unasked; you're passionate about uncovering both the overarching patterns and the nuanced details. The passion of synthesizing findings is matched only by the excitement of sharing actionable insights with your team. You're eager to refine your research techniques and expand your analytical toolkit, but it's the collaborative journey of discovery with your team that truly motivates you.
