• Establish the user research practice at Cyncly from scratch — defining frameworks, standards, workflows, and a research repository that the wider organisation can draw on.
• Select, implement, and manage the research tooling stack (e.g., participant recruitment platforms, moderated/unmoderated testing tools, survey tools, and insight management systems).
• Plan and conduct high-quality research across generative, evaluative, quantitative, and strategic methods — including user interviews, usability testing, surveys, concept testing, and Jobs-to-be-Done studies.
• Translate research findings into clear, actionable insights that directly influence product strategy, roadmap decisions, and design direction.
• Collaborate closely with the Head of UX Design, product managers, and designers to identify research priorities and integrate research into the product development lifecycle.
• Champion a user-centric culture across the business, communicating the value of research and upskilling colleagues in research best practices.
• Build and maintain a participant panel and relationships with customers across Cyncly's global markets.
• As the team grows, help shape the research function — contributing to hiring decisions, mentoring junior researchers, and establishing a centre of excellence for user insight

Qualifications

A degree in a relevant field such as Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Design, or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent professional experience demonstrating the same depth of knowledge will equally be considered.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 5–8 years of user research experience, ideally within a B2B SaaS or enterprise software environment.
• Proven ability to operate independently — with a track record of setting up or significantly scaling a user research practice.
• Strong command of both qualitative and quantitative research methods: in-depth interviews, usability testing, surveys, JTBD frameworks, analytics interpretation, and concept testing.
• Demonstrated experience selecting and implementing research tooling (e.g., Dovetail, UserZoom, Maze, UserTesting, Optimal Workshop, or similar).
• Skilled at communicating research insights to diverse audiences — from design teams to senior leadership — with clarity and impact.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working in a fast-moving, growth-stage technology environment.
• Experience working with globally distributed teams, with sensitivity to research across diverse cultures and user segments.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills — able to build trust and advocacy for research without formal authority.
• Experience working in close partnership with UX design, product management, and engineering teams.
