The Company
The Design Team
At the Bake Experience & Product Design Team we believe that good CX is as much about empathy, behaviour and emotion, as it is about utility, performance and scalability.
We strive to use a mix of human, technological and business understanding to create joyful experiences. We also continuously level up the design maturity of the company.
The team assumes a customer’s point of view, advocates for product simplicity and evangelise Design as a business solution function while working efficiently and effectively towards objectives.
Sounds like we’re asking a lot of any team member? We do.
The most fulfilling work happens outside the comfort zone, where there is the need, ability and empowerment to grow. That’s going to excite you and make your work outstanding. Cookie-cutting is best left for Christmas time.
The Role
We are looking for a curious yet mature user researcher to join our team and level up the desirability and market fit of our mobile app.
You’ve seen it before - Research is sometimes treated as unnecessary and researchers can be mistaken for mere validators. Morale suffers the same way that quality and revenue does. We can’t tell you why many companies treat it this way, but what we can promise you is that at Bake Design we want UXR to be integral to what we do. Design is the only function that understands how all aspects of an app influence customer decision-making and how elements need to be orchestrated to meet user needs. We value this highly and we’d like you to help us do this.
Your focus in this role will be on understanding what motivates people and how to engage them. Equipped with this knowledge, you generate actionable insights for the design team, the entire product group and for management. You’ll spend considerable time continuously improving the experience across the entire app, sitting side-by-side with UX designers.
This role requires a high sense of empathy, a keen understanding of psychology and a good sense of what matters to business. We also appreciate strong opinions - If you’re the kind of person who wonders why some apps feel ‘off’ and can’t help but mull it over during your morning run, you may be just the right person for the job.

- Not a rockstar. You will be part of a team with split responsibilities. We define success through mutual support. We want you to know a few things very well, not everything a little
