Interaction Design Researcher (temporary 12 months)

Job Description

Are you a researcher passionate about developing the future of interactive and digital play?

Here’s your chance! This is a rare opportunity to use human insights, quantitative research, and data analysis to drive the development and launch of The LEGO’s Group’s new digital, interactive play experiences.

You’ll be working in a development team and supporting each step of the innovation journey with the necessary research and insights – from early opportunity identification to concept development and iteration to go-to-market strategy. This requires a holistic researcher with the full gamut of research tools under their belt but a passion and expertise in UX/UI, digital, gaming, interaction design research and development.

Responsibilities

• Drive the learning and experimentation agenda for a new physical/digital play proposition – Work closely with design, UX, platform, and engineering to identify project priorities and research needs, define and plan a learning agenda, and drive all research activities, from development to launch.

• Execute both qualitative and quantitative research – we do much of our research in-house so we’re looking for a well-rounded, mixed-method researcher. Can you moderate co-creation sessions with kids one day, then script and analyze a survey the next? You’ll design, manage, facilitate and analyze all agile research in-house!

• Spearhead Desirability by ensuring kids are at the heart of strategy and design – Embed the voice of the consumer, their needs, attitudes, behaviors, perceptions, preferences, WTP, etc. into product and marketing strategy to ensure Desirability. 

To be a great fit for this role, you would need strength and expertise in:

• UX/UI design research

• Digital/interactive technology and/or games

• Product/service innovation and experience

• Design Thinking Experimentation – Identifying risky assumptions, forming testable hypotheses, using metrics, running “in-market” experiments

• Synthesizing various data sources, like trends, customer insight, app data, sales data, etc.

• Crafting and communicating compelling, clear insight narratives that drive action and decision making

• Strategic mindset and data-driven decisions – applying data and insight to identify and size innovation opportunities, formulate product strategy, identify Key Value Proposition

As a person, we expect you to:

• Have a natural curiosity about people – their perceptions, attitudes, behaviors and emotions

• Show strong social, collaboration and communication skills

• Possess ability to work independently and identify critical and highest impact tasks

• Be self-confident, with a problem solver and “do-er” attitude

• Demonstrate highly developed ability to take the lead, think critically, challenge the brief and voice your opinion

• Take an interest in toys, games and play experiences, as well as digital experience like gaming
