  • Lead and execute end-to-end UX and usability testing initiative, translating insights into actionable design and product improvements that enhance user experience.
  • Incorporate best in class UX principles into research and product development processes, championing user centered design standards and ensuring a consistent, high quality experience.
  • Synthesize and communicate insights in compelling ways that influence product decisions and roadmap prioritization
  • Design, scope and execute studies using a mix of methodologies (e.g., 1:1 interviews, usability tests, surveys, diary studies)
  • Collaborate with Product, Design, Marketing, Data, and Product Support to identify and prioritize key user pain points and user needs
  • Advocate for the voice of the creator, shopper and brand throughout the product development process
  • Contribute to the evolution of our product development process by establishing frameworks and best practices for research planning, documentation, and insights sharing
  • Help level up research understanding across the team through lightweight training and education
What You Bring
  • 6+ years of experience in product or UX research, preferably at a fast paced B2B or B2C startup
  • Expertise across both generative and evaluative research methods (both in person and remote) with a portfolio or examples of research that influenced shipped products
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills- you make data and insights engaging, accessible, and memorable
  • Strong collaborator, able to build cross functional relationships and advocate for users without losing sight of business context
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, prioritizing impact, and balancing rigor with speed
  • Experience working with creator tools, marketplaces, or e commerce products is a plus
