ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior UX Researcher to provide hands-on research continuity for an IT and Operations employee experience portfolio, independently scoping and executing mixed-method studies that evaluate AI-enabled self-service experiences, test AI skill concepts, and surface actionable insights for enterprise tooling decisions. You will maintain and extend a jobs-to-be-done framework across multiple initiatives, synthesize findings into decision-ready recommendations and stakeholder readouts, and partner with product, service, and operational teams to validate tooling before broader rollout.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Plan and conduct mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative) research across priority IT & Ops initiatives, independently moving studies from ambiguous questions to decision-ready recommendations.
- Plan and moderate research that evaluates AI-enabled self-service experiences and improves IT support experiences.
- Test AI Skills concepts to identify jobs to be done, adoption barriers, and trust or validation needs ahead of broader rollout.
- Synthesize findings into clear recommendations, research artifacts, and stakeholder readouts that document implications and recommended next steps.
- Maintain and extend the jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) framework so it represents jobs across the company, and update JTBD artifacts to connect new tool evaluations to the endorsed tool suite.
- Produce research plans, participant and recruitment strategies, and study materials for priority initiatives.
- Deliver decision-ready findings and recommendations spanning AI-enabled self-service, skills, collaboration, and business-process opportunities.
- Partner with product, service, and operational teams to validate tooling decisions before they scale.
MUST HAVES
- 5+ years of hands-on UX research experience at a senior individual-contributor level, with demonstrated ability to independently scope, execute, and synthesize studies.
- Strong qualitative and quantitative research-method selection, execution, and analysis skills.
- Experience researching enterprise internal tools, employee experience, or complex cross-functional workflows.
- Ability to translate research into clear, decision-ready recommendations for product and operational stakeholders.
- Demonstrated experience developing and applying a jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) or comparable strategic research framework across multiple initiatives, and translating it into product and operational decisions.
- Collaborative stakeholder management across product, design, engineering, operations, and service teams. Strong written and verbal communication, including concise research readouts and executive-ready storytelling.
- Proficiency with common research platforms for recruitment, moderated and unmoderated studies, surveys, and synthesis.
- Experience working within enterprise product, service, and operational workflows. Working knowledge of research repositories and documentation tools (exact platforms to be confirmed with the hiring manager).
- Comfort using collaboration and documentation systems to maintain traceable research artifacts, findings, and decisions.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience researching AI-enabled products, assistants, automation, or emerging-technology adoption, especially trust, validation behavior, user reliance, and rollout readiness.
- Experience with employee experience, IT service management, self-service support, or digital workplace tools.
- Experience applying or evolving a jobs-to-be-done framework across multiple product or service areas.
- Track record of shipping research that influenced enterprise-tooling, AI-adoption, or service-experience decisions.
- Ability to connect individual studies to an ongoing strategic framework.
- History of turning complex findings into actions that improve self-service, reduce confusion, or streamline workflows.
- Experience partnering through launch and measurement, not only delivering studies.
