This will include designing user interviews to understand user needs, interviewing users, and synthesizing and sharing what you learn, with the goal of helping our product teams make better decisions about the right things to build.

  • Conduct interviews with users with the goal of deeply understand their needs and how those needs might be met
  • Clearly communicate research findings and insights in engaging, persuasive ways that draw others into your empathetic understanding of user needs and the broader contexts in which they interact with our platform
  • Lead self-directed projects with guidance and help from senior Product Managers

What we're looking for

  • You have a strong understanding and passion for user-centered design
  • You're highly empathetic with innate curiosity to understand not only what people do, but why they do it
