Qualifications

What you bring:

• Experience: 5+ years relevant work experience as a user researcher, including integrating user research into product designs. A strong understanding of the strengths and shortcomings of different research methods from a variety of disciplines including when and how to apply them at each product phase - you'll know when to use surveys, usability tests, focus groups and when to use guerilla research tactics.
