Senior UX Researcher

We need an experienced UX Researcher that has the skills and passion to drive community, connection, and belonging through product design of our software suite. 

In this role you can expect to:

• Plan and conduct lean/rapid UX research activities on large and complex studies, and use these findings to produce actionable design direction

• Contribute to our culture and insights-based practice, doing your part to ensure Pushpay remains a place where people of all backgrounds can thrive
• Collaborate with the global UX and wider teams to ensure best practice UX research in your product area
• Mentor and coach more junior UX members

You'll join a small global team of UX designers and researchers, responsible for delivering world class solutions that drive user outcomes in your product area, and contributing to a cohesive experience across the product suite. Ideally, you value working directly with product managers, engineers and QAs on a daily basis.

  • Experience planning, conducting, and presenting a full range of research methods
  • Relevant tools including but not limited to Mural, Dovetail, Confluence and Google Suite
• A record of making positive impacts through technology based experiences.
• The ability to autonomously embrace the company, product and experience strategies, and map journeys, tactics, and outcomes for a product to support it
• Pragmatic and fluid communication (both written and verbal)
• Passion and care for people - towards both our customers and the colleagues you work with
• A learning mindset and hunger to grow, evolve and develop excellence in lean and deeply collaborative practice
• Experience with iterative and rapid UX practices and decision making
