About the Role
Overview
As a UX Researcher, you will be an integral member of our research team. In particular, you will be responsible for leading and executing qualitative research efforts, planning and facilitating design workshops, while collaborating closely with the product managers and designers. You will also advocate for our user needs and pain points from different markets around APAC to all ShopBackers throughout the region, including markets you are not familiar with. You are comfortable conducting contextual and evaluative research with a strong understanding of research methodologies, product design principles and agile processes.
Our team provides a safe space for all researchers. We review each other’s work and focus on improvements rather than identifying mistakes. We experiment with various research methodologies as we consider our work a playground for us to explore the best way to learn about the users. In terms of skills and backgrounds, our team is diverse and we learn from each other’s perspectives.
Although we are distributed, we communicate via video calls every day and try to avoid chats as much as possible to minimise the interaction that is lost from working as a remote team. We do standups every morning and conduct retrospectives every 2 weeks. You can learn more about our retrospectives here .

- Build and advocate in the company a strong culture of user-centered design internally in ShopBack and externally in the UX community.
What you can offer
- Solid work experience in UX research.
- Experience working with product managers or product designers and other stakeholders.
- Strong experience with qualitative research methods such as user interview, contextual inquiry, diary study.
- End-to-end experience in leading and executing qualitative research efforts. This includes identifying topics and planning research, recruiting and screening users, conducting the research, reporting and presenting findings, and working with the stakeholders on the recommendations from the research.
- Knowledge of and experience with quantitative research methods: data analytics, survey, or statistics. Experience in using data analytics or product experimentation will be a plus.
- Knowledge in interaction design and product design principles.
- Fluent in English and Vietnamese.
Bonuses
- Experience in triangulating qualitative research findings and quantitative data.
- Experience in facilitating design workshops.
- Candidates who are shifting or have shifted from other fields relevant to digital product development such as product design, product management, data or marketing.
- Candidates who are shifting or have shifted from academic research whose knowledge may be applicable to UX research.
