📋 Description

• Independently scope and execute research studies based on product decisions and risks — choosing methods that balance rigor and speed, and adjusting when conditions change • Work across multiple data sources: qualitative interviews, usability sessions, concept tests, lightweight surveys, and secondary research • Participate in and support generative and discovery research — concept testing, opportunity framing, early-stage exploration — where the question isn't fully defined yet • Synthesize across sessions to identify root causes and motivations, not just surface-level patterns; produce insights grounded in repeated behavior, context, and meaning • Connect insights to near-term roadmap decisions and help partners understand user tradeoffs alongside business constraints • Communicate findings clearly to product, design, and engineering partners — distilling complexity into what matters most and what to do about it • Present to cross-functional partners and occasional director-level stakeholders with confidence and clarity • Use AI tools to accelerate synthesis and research operations (tagging, clustering, transcription, repository management) while validating outputs for accuracy • Contribute to team practice: share reusable frameworks, improve templates, mentor junior researchers on craft and process • Build trusted relationships with product and design partners within your zone

🎯 Requirements

• 4–6 years of UX research experience, with a combination of consultancy/innovation firm experience and in-house product work • Your consultancy or design firm experience gave you: comfort operating in ambiguous, 0-to-1 spaces; a habit of working with stakeholders who aren't sure what they need; and confidence forming and defending a point of view with limited data • Your in-house product experience gave you: familiarity with how product roadmaps, sprint cycles, and metrics work; an understanding of how research earns trust and gets used in a fast-moving team; and a track record of insights that influenced real decisions • Skilled in qualitative methods (interviews, diary studies, concept testing, usability testing) with growing comfort in quantitative approaches (surveys, behavioral data analysis, A/B interpretation) • You scope studies independently and choose methods that fit the question — not the other way around • You synthesize across sessions to find root causes, not just recurring quotes; your insights say something about why, not just what • Strong, clear communicator — you can write a sharp one-pager, structure a crisp readout, and present to a skeptical PM or design lead without losing them • Collaborative and reliable — partners know what to expect from you, you manage expectations proactively, and you raise blockers early • Curious about home ownership, home improvement, and what it means to help people find reliable help for something as personal as where they live • Comfortable working in AI-assisted workflows and interested in doing research on AI-powered product experiences as we build them

🏖️ Benefits

• The base salary band for this position ranges from $130,000 - $180,000, commensurate with experience and performance.
