The challenge 

The growing EMEA UX team is expanding and we looking to further build our UX research Team!

This is an opportunity (with the support of the international research team and strong local UX leadership) to play a key role in building out the research practice and community in Europe. If you have highly developed research skills,  have experience shaping product strategies and want to work on a product that's near to your heart, then this role might be for you.

What success looks like 

You inspire those around you to understand the customer and have a multiplier effect on creating enthusiasm for products and features. You design and execute research studies using appropriate research methods, always taking a holistic approach and leveraging the knowledge and expertise available (data scientist, other researchers, designers, product experts…).
