Job Description : THE ROLE :

Our site in Billerica / Bedford, MA is seeking a hybrid Lead, UX Researcher to join our team. This person will work on a newly formed team that is helping shape the future of digital tools and platforms at Entegris.

You'll set research strategy and influence cross-functional product direction, partnering with directly with highly technical and operationally savvy partners - engineers, scientists, operations leader, business leaders - to understand the full context of work, identify barriers, and shape solutions that lead to measurable outcomes.

This is a hands-on, highly autonomous leadership level role for someone who brings strong product thinking, thrives in complexity, and is excited to help build a new practice from the ground up in partnership with the Director of HCD and a design partner.

As part of a newly forming Human-Centered Design practice, this role offers the unique opportunity to help shape how design and research integrate into our organization. You will provide thought leadership and create formal networks across functions, establish ways of working, processes, and best practices that enable high-impact outcomes within a lean, fast-moving environment. You will establish HCD as a way of working for teams, designing ways to "democratize" human-centered thinking through playbooks, learning sessions and internal "marketing" efforts. You will partner deeply with Change Management on how to align the functions leading to shared goals, efficiency in workflows and a deeper understanding of our employees.

This is an ideal role for someone excited to help build not just great solutions, but a great design and research culture from the ground up.
