This job post is over 2 months oldand may no longer be available.
Simply Business is more than our name. It's how we approach insurance: Make it clear. Make it simple. Make it affordable. By combining exceptional talent, technology, data, and knowledge, Simply Business is the go-to online insurance brokerage that protects small businesses and the entrepreneurs who work hard to build them.
We want team members who have the drive to challenge boundaries. If you’re smart and passionate about delivering brilliant customer experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
The Customer Experience team is a global team (UK & US) responsible for designing simple, smart experiences that enable our customers to achieve their goals.
The user research function sits under the umbrella of the wider CX team alongside product design, customer insight and behavioural science. Our mission is to drive customer-centric decisions, aligned with business priorities and product vision, through expertly designed, executed and analysed user research and experimentation.
We’re looking for a Senior UX Researcher to join the team and help us redefine how insurance works for the entrepreneurs and small business owners who are the lifeblood of the US economy.
As a Senior UX Researcher, you will:
- Have full ownership of user research - plan, conduct, communicate - using appropriate methodologies in an iterative, agile business environment
- Collaborate with a cross-functional product team as an embedded user researcher, driving the design of useful, usable, accessible, and desirable products and user experiences
- Collaborate with business teams (for example, insurance product), bringing the customer’s needs and problems to the front of strategy and decision-making
- Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to key stakeholders and the broader business, balancing user and business needs
- Focus on the US customer and user journey, and occasionally support the UK team’s work
What we are looking for:
- Ability to demonstrate multiple examples of how you have led research which has lead to positive customer and business outcomes
- You do advocate for ‘customer-driven development’ - co-creating with customers and having the humility to work with them to identify the most important problems and develop solutions with them
- Your regularly contribution to the design and execution of other experiments in the product team (for example, A/B tests)
- Your ability to balance big-picture concerns with day-to-day activities, equipping the business to address change and tackle new challenges
- Your ability to promote user research and best practices in product development by educating others about methods and identifying opportunities for further research
- Someone that cares about inclusivity and accessibility in design and research
