The opportunity
We are recruiting a Senior UX Researcher to join an innovative AI and scientific research team within a leading global technology organisation.
You will join a zero-to-one product team exploring emerging generative AI products and solutions for a specialist user community. Working alongside UX Researchers, UX Designers, Product Managers and Engineers, you will lead foundational research that helps the team understand users, uncover opportunities and shape early product direction.
This role requires someone who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the problem space, user needs and potential solutions are still evolving.
Key responsibilities
- Lead qualitative and foundational research for emerging AI products.
- Own research from initial scoping and planning through to recruitment, execution, analysis and reporting.
- Conduct research using methods such as interviews, usability studies, contextual inquiry and surveys.
- Explore user needs, behaviours and opportunities within complex or ambiguous problem spaces.
- Translate findings into clear recommendations that influence product strategy, design and launch decisions.
- Partner closely with UX Design, Product Management and Engineering throughout the product-development lifecycle.
- Adapt traditional research methods to support a rapidly developing product environment.
- Establish a strategic research direction while keeping real user needs central to decision-making.
- Communicate complex insights clearly and persuasively to senior and executive stakeholders.
- Advocate for ethical, inclusive and user-centred research practices.
