  • Synthesize insights from qualitative and quantitative data, collaborating with teams like Analytics and Behavioral Science. 
  • Deliver compelling presentations that communicate research insights to diverse audiences, from design and product teams to senior leadership. 
  • Contribute to the evolution of WW’s research practices by mentoring junior researchers, refining processes, and championing user-centered decision-making.
  • Establish and maintain ongoing mechanisms for collecting feedback from users at every stage of the customer journey.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in Human Factors, HCI, Psychology, Anthropology, Cognitive Science, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience.
  • You have 5-7 years of experience conducting user research in a product or service design environment.
  • Strong ability to uncover the “why” behind behaviors and articulate findings in a clear, actionable way. 
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills - comfortable presenting research insights through reports, slide decks, or interactive workshops.
  • A collaborative mindset with experience working closely with designers, product managers, and cross-functional teams.
  • Familiarity with UX design processes and principles. 

Please be prepared to share 2-3 examples of research projects you’ve led or contributed to.
