UX Research – Digital

This role is perfect for a midweight to senior researcher who thrives in fast-moving, start-up-like environments. We’re looking for someone self-motivated, hands-on and adaptable, with the ability to turn user research into actionable insights that directly influence product design and strategy. Experience in utilities or service-based sectors is a plus, but your agility, curiosity and ability to work across teams are what will make you shine.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll be doing:

• Plan, execute and iterate UX research across web and app platforms, using qualitative and quantitative methods such as interviews, usability studies, surveys, contextual inquiries and A/B tests
• Analyse research data and synthesise findings into actionable insights that inform product and design decisions
• Facilitate user testing sessions, in-depth interviews and internal workshops to deeply understand user needs and behaviours
• Collaborate closely with designers, product managers and engineers to integrate research findings seamlessly into product development
• Maintain and refine user personas, journey maps and other research artefacts to guide design strategy
• Contribute to prototyping efforts, applying research insights to improve UX and UI experiences
• Monitor market trends, competitor activities and emerging UX practices to inform research approaches and recommendations
• Engage in agile/scrum processes, providing timely research inputs and updates to guide product development

Are we the perfect match?

• Proven experience in UX research, ideally in fast-paced or start-up environments
• Demonstrable ability to manage end-to-end research projects independently
• Strong portfolio showcasing actionable insights and impactful recommendations
• Excellent communication and influencing skills to present research findings to stakeholders
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field, complemented by hands-on experience
• Comfortable working across multiple teams and balancing competing priorities

It would be great if you had:

• Experience in utility, service-based, or regulated industries
• Familiarity with both qualitative and quantitative research methods and tools
• Experience contributing to product strategy and design workshops
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles
• Confidence in working with prototyping tools and integrating research into iterative design processes
