Department Overview

Our Experience Design & Research team is a multidisciplinary group of UX / CX Designers, User Researchers, and Behavioural Scientists. We're at the forefront of understanding users, shaping evidence-based experiences, and translating insights into impactful products.

As the team expands its measurement and evaluative research capabilities, we are seeking a Senior UX Researcher with a strong mixed-methods (with a quant emphasis) background to establish best practices, deliver impactful insights, and raise research maturity across our portfolio

Job Description

This is a unique opportunity to lead evaluative and measurement-focused UX research within mission-critical environments. You will design and execute studies that demonstrate the impact of research on product, design, and business outcomes, while shaping how behavioral insights inform strategy.

What You'll Do

  • Establish a UX Metrics Practice : Define, implement, and own the key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for user experience. This includes establishing frameworks for measuring usability, satisfaction (e.g., SUS, CSAT), and task success.
  • Lead Quantitative Research : Design, launch, and analyze large-scale quantitative research studies, including surveys, A / B tests, and behavioral data analysis from product analytics platforms.
  • Champion Qualitative Rigor : Lead and execute foundational and evaluative qualitative research, including in-depth interviews, contextual inquiries, and usability testing.
  • Synthesize and Triangulate : Masterfully weave together quantitative and qualitative data to create a holistic, comprehensive understanding of our users. You will be responsible for telling the full story, connecting the "what" from analytics with the "why" from qualitative insights.
  • Strategic Influence : Translate research findings into actionable, strategic recommendations that directly inform product roadmaps, design decisions, and business strategy.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration : Partner closely with leaders in Product Management, Design, Engineering, and Data Science to identify research needs, align on priorities, and drive user-centered outcomes.
  • Mentorship & Advocacy : Act as a thought leader and mentor for UX research within the company. Educate and empower team members to apply research best practices and develop a deeper appreciation for both quantitative and qualitative methods.
  • Communication & Storytelling : Create and deliver compelling presentations and reports that bring user stories and data to life for a variety of audiences, from individual contributors to the executive leadership team.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience : 6+ years of hands-on experience conducting research in large matrixed organizations and complex product structures, with at least 2 years of experience managing junior to mid-level researchers.
  • Education : Masters Degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Psychology, Sociology, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Scaling Metrics and Driving Change : Expert at establishing and scaling a company-wide metrics practice. You have a clear history of leveraging experience metrics to define product success and deliver measurable, user-centric improvements.
  • Quantifying Research ROI : Proven expertise in defining and tracking the business impact of a UX Research team. You consistently link changes in user metrics (behavior, satisfaction) directly to measurable financial or strategic returns, making the value of research undeniable.
  • Technical Expertise : Expert in utilizing both behavioral and attitudinal data to extract insights. Proficient in experimental design, survey methodology, and advanced statistical analysis. Expert with tools like Pendo and Qualtrics . Experience with data manipulation (SQL, Python) or statistical software (R, SPSS) is a plus.
  • In-Person Research Expertise : Proven experience planning, recruiting for, and conducting a range of in-person research, including ethnographic-style fieldwork, contextual inquiries in users' natural environments, and on-site usability testing.
  • Mixed-Methods Portfolio : A portfolio of work that showcases your ability to integrate diverse data sources to answer complex research questions and drive impact.
  • Strategic Thinker & Self Starter : You don't just answer the questions you're given; you identify the right questions to ask to move the business forward. You are a self-starter with a proven record of launching initiatives independently and with minimal supervision
  • Iterative Approach : Proven experience in planning and executing iterative, rapid-cycle research that is seamlessly integrated into the product development process, informing design and engineering decisions.
  • Strategic Road mapping : Leverage an understanding of MSI's strategic vision and market trends to develop a research roadmap that not only aligns with but actively shapes and drives product goals and priorities.
  • Exceptional Communicator : You are a gifted storyteller who can distill complex information into clear, concise, and persuasive narratives for any audience.
  • Global Collaboration and Availability : Flexibility to work in USA Central Time (CT). Willingness to travel internationally to our UK, US, and Poland offices several times per year.
  • Bonus Points

  • Advanced degree (Ph.D.) in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Psychology, Sociology, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, agile environment.
  • Experience mentoring or managing other researchers.
  • Target Base Salary Range : $130,000 USD - $170,000 USD
