Key Responsibilities :

  • Conduct in-person field research in retail, service, and other real-world environments.
  • Perform contextual inquiries, intercept interviews, and observational studies.
  • Translate findings into clear, actionable insights, including journey maps, user personas, and jobs-to-be-done frameworks.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and development teams to integrate user feedback throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Present findings to stakeholders in a compelling and collaborative manner.
  • Work independently and manage multiple field projects within an Agile (SAFE) environment.
  • Leverage existing customer and analytics data to support research conclusions.

Requirements :

  • 2–5 years of UX research experience (qualitative and quantitative).
  • Proven ability to conduct ethnographic research and service design discovery in physical environments.
  • Comfortable with tools and methods such as usability testing, concept testing, surveys, and user interviews.
  • Ability to manage and scope research projects based on stakeholder needs.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently in the field and synthesize findings in a clear, impactful way.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Master’s degree in Human Factors, Ethnography, Anthropology, Market Research, or related field (preferred).
  • Experience with cross-channel customer journey mapping.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies (SAFE framework a plus).
  • Experience working with unmoderated testing and prototyping tools.
