About the Opportunity

 

Our mission is to help the next billion people experience the future of finance. We’re looking for UX Researchers to help define the future of our products, set strategies, and develop a culture of research driven user experience. We have offices in San Francisco, Miami, Malta, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, and while this role is listed in San Francisco, we are remote-first and believe in you working wherever you work best.

 

Okcoin's customer base is evolving as more everyday people embark on their crypto-finance journey. We are seeking an experienced UX researcher to help us augment growth initiatives and dive deeper with testing for our Learn squad. You will regularly provide insights around the optimal voice, tone, and language to help our customers continuously grow in their confidence, knowledge, and applied understanding of crypto and DeFi concepts. You will be an instrumental part of the team, advising on roadmaps and key decision-making in support of Okcoin’s customers and their crypto education, from very beginners to crypto natives. Success will be measured by designing, executing, and sharing out research cross-company which helps to move the needle on user-centric and growth KPIs, as well as continuing to be an ambassador for integrating research across teams.

 

What You’ll Achieve

  • Embed yourself in the Learn squad to deeply understand and prioritize research needs around customer education and user personas, increasing the breadth of our insights by independently designing, executing, and presenting impactful mixed-methods research
  • Use research to identify and solve general UX problems, working in tandem with Content Strategists, Designers, Product Managers, and Marketing to optimize overall UX including design elements and copy through rapid user testing/prototyping
  • Leverage ongoing usability testing and research to make recommendations around how to best educate and build for current and future users across personas and markets, through content, copy, design, and UX optimizations
  • Assist with Research Ops tasks for the team like scheduling interviews and updating the research repository

 

What We Look For In You

  • 3-5+ years of UX research experience; ideally in a product setting.
  • Confident with end-to-end research design utilizing various mixed-methods like usability testing, in-depth interviews, focus groups, card sorts, ideation sessions, ethnographies, A/B testing, and survey research
  • Strong understanding of the strengths and shortcomings of different research methods, including when and how to apply them during the product development and design process
  • Sensitivity to nuances and implications of language/diction and what customers are and aren’t saying when it comes to their understanding of often complex concepts (and how to translate this into meaningful product/copy/design changes)
  • Know how to incorporate complex technical, financial, and business requirements and terms into research, in a way that is approachable and empathetic to research participants/internal audiences
  • Able to not only report on data and insights, but have ‘bigger picture’ understanding of what the strategic impact is, and how we can fill in the ‘why’ behind the data with existing or future user research findings
  • Some existing understanding of Bitcoin, crypto, DeFi and blockchain (Bonus if you already are obsessed!)
  • Actively seeking a fast-paced, constantly evolving work environment which is never boring nor predictable
