Quantitative UX Researcher

Eingestellt von Harvey Nash IT Recruitment Switzerland

Gesuchte Skills: Design, Support

Projektbeschreibung

We are currently looking for a UX Researcher for our Client, an international IT-Company.

The area

Quantitative UX Researchers conduct empirical research using methods from computer science, quantitative social science, statistics, econometrics, and other fields to understand user behavior and extract meaningful patterns from large data sets. They partner with Designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders across the company to improve the user experience and drive product excellence. The research team covers all advertiser-facing products where advertisers create, monitor, manage, and optimize their advertising campaigns.

The role

As a Quantitative UX Researcher, you combine skills in experimental design, statistical analysis, programming and human-computer interaction to improve the user experience. As a key member of a product team, you work with stakeholders across functions and levels. You solve challenging problems and empower the team to move forward by developing metrics, measuring results and integrating new methodologies into existing systems. You do more than just crunch numbers: through reports and team engagement, you provide a UX perspective on quantitative data to help stakeholders understand their users. Coming up with solutions is only one part of your job. Equally important is to identify and quantify problems, and to embark on new research areas worth exploring through innovative methods. You apply principles of rigorous and ethical research to build and improve products that satisfy users' needs and exceed their expectations.

- Develop code and statistical models to understand user experience.
- Drive change by communicating findings to stakeholders in the company. Make research findings convincing and actionable for both research experts and non-experts.
- Facilitate high research impact through data visualization and novel research communication methods.

Top 3 Daily Responsibilities

- Plan research: identify research gaps, distil findings from prior research, develop research plans for quantitative or mixed quantitative + qualitative research into user behaviors in the product
- Execute research: conduct statistical analyses to describe user and customer behaviors, using various slicing mechanisms; identify meaningful patterns and correlate signals to provide a coherent research insight
- Communicate research for Impact: transform research findings into recommendations for the design and product management teams; work as a team to improve research deliverables (reports, presentations, posters); use methods of research communication to deliver lasting research artifacts.
