Senior User Researcher
£500/day | Inside IR35 | London Hybrid | 6 Month Contract
I’m working with a leading financial services organisation looking for a Senior User Researcher to join their team on an initial 6 month contract.
This is a role for someone who can operate beyond individual research projects and help shape how User Research is used across the wider organisation. You’ll work closely with Design, Product and senior stakeholders, using research to influence decisions, challenge assumptions and help drive better product outcomes.
What you’ll be doing:
- Lead end-to-end research across multiple initiatives, from planning and scoping through to delivery and recommendations
- Work closely with Design and Product teams to ensure research genuinely shapes decisions
- Engage with senior and challenging stakeholders, confidently advocating for User Research and handling resistance
- Use a range of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including usability testing
- Help improve Research best practice and maturity across the wider organisation
- Bring a strategic approach to research planning, moving beyond validation towards influencing product and business direction
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
