An opportunity to help grow the User Research function within an established Design team, working on software used by close to a million people globally.

The client

This Cambridge-based firm, is the leading provider of software for businesses seeking to bring the benefits of DevOps to their database teams. Used by close to a million individuals around the world, from small and medium-sized businesses.

The company itself has over 300 people, which includes an established Product Design team.

Product Design is very much included in product leadership there and they also have a low churn rate – people like to stay there for long periods of time. So they’ll be looking for someone who is equally committed too.

You’ll be required to visit their Cambridge office once a week (NOT expensed)

Salary up to £65,000

The role

You will collaborate closely with product design, product management, and engineering on strategic research projects. Your role involves filling in knowledge gaps and working across diverse solutions, contributing to a unified understanding of user problems and opportunities.

This will actually be the team’s first pure User Researcher, working alongside their Product Design team. Designers currently do all the research – this will continue as normal, as your role is focused on their portfolio as a whole, joining up the dots and providing a forward-thinking view to future changes, looking at solution areas.

This also means a good opportunity for you to help scale-up user research here, advancing your own career at the same time as a result.

The candidate

  • Proven hands-on experience as a UX Researcher at senior level, in a product environment and experience or familiarity in a database-related or other similar technical domain is a bonus but not essential.
  • Experience with a wide range of qualitative & quantitative research methods to identify and communicate customer needs and problems to cross-functional teams, focusing on key issues.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply research methodologies to enhance the user experience of products. A track record of adapting research approaches based on project requirements and goals- using lean and pragmatic approaches to get desired outcomes.
  • Ability to effectively communicate research insights to different stakeholders, including product managers, designers, and developers.
  • Bachelor/Master’s degree in Anthropology, Human Factors, Psychology, HCI/Computer Science or other related fields or equivalent practical experience (would be a plus).
