This role is based out of Blink's Seattle's office and while we support flexible work, this role does require someone who is available to be in the office for research studies, team collaboration, and key meetings and events.
We would like to see examples of your past research work in your application. Please attach your portfolio link and any other work samples you can share to help us understand your approach to UX research.

- Planning and moderating foundational and evaluative user research studies, including usability lab studies, remote studies, and field studies.
- Analyzing research findings and preparing high-impact reports and presentations for clients.
- Delivering insights that ensure the usability and usefulness of interfaces for our client's end-users.
- Meeting with client stakeholders to help clarify research objectives and propose specific tools and approaches within a pre-defined scope of work.
- Advocating for users while understanding the business goals of clients.
- Contributing to Blink user research and UX design practices through writing/thought leadership, internal projects, and collaborating with peers.
- Occasionally participating in business development efforts as a subject matter expert.
What we are looking for:
- Formal education in a relevant field such as human-centered design, human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, information science or equivalent hands-on experience to demonstrate an understanding of usability research theory, methods, and practices.
- 3+ years of experience designing and conducting a range of UX research activities.
- Excellent presentation and written communication skills.
- Proven ability to communicate recommended design solutions for observed UX issues.
- A high comfort level with computer hardware and software.
- Working knowledge of user research tool(s), design best practice, and UX research methodologies.
