ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior UX Researcher to provide hands-on research continuity for an IT and Operations employee experience portfolio, independently scoping and executing mixed-method studies that evaluate AI-enabled self-service experiences, test AI skill concepts, and surface actionable insights for enterprise tooling decisions. You will maintain and extend a jobs-to-be-done framework across multiple initiatives, synthesize findings into decision-ready recommendations and stakeholder readouts, and partner with product, service, and operational teams to validate tooling before broader rollout.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Plan and conduct mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative) research across priority IT & Ops initiatives, independently moving studies from ambiguous questions to decision-ready recommendations.

- Plan and moderate research that evaluates AI-enabled self-service experiences and improves IT support experiences.

- Test AI Skills concepts to identify jobs to be done, adoption barriers, and trust or validation needs ahead of broader rollout.

- Synthesize findings into clear recommendations, research artifacts, and stakeholder readouts that document implications and recommended next steps.

- Maintain and extend the jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) framework so it represents jobs across the company, and update JTBD artifacts to connect new tool evaluations to the endorsed tool suite.

- Produce research plans, participant and recruitment strategies, and study materials for priority initiatives.

- Deliver decision-ready findings and recommendations spanning AI-enabled self-service, skills, collaboration, and business-process opportunities.

- Partner with product, service, and operational teams to validate tooling decisions before they scale.

- Experience researching enterprise internal tools, employee experience, or complex cross-functional workflows .

- Ability to translate research into clear, decision-ready recommendations for product and operational stakeholders.

- Demonstrated experience developing and applying a jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) or comparable strategic research framework across multiple initiatives, and translating it into product and operational decisions.

- Collaborative stakeholder management across product, design, engineering, operations, and service teams. Strong written and verbal communication, including concise research readouts and executive-ready storytelling.

- Proficiency with common research platforms for recruitment, moderated and unmoderated studies, surveys, and synthesis.

- Experience working within enterprise product, service, and operational workflows. Working knowledge of research repositories and documentation tools (exact platforms to be confirmed with the hiring manager).

- Comfort using collaboration and documentation systems to maintain traceable research artifacts, findings, and decisions.

- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience researching AI-enabled products, assistants, automation, or emerging-technology adoption, especially trust, validation behavior, user reliance, and rollout readiness.

- Experience with employee experience, IT service management, self-service support, or digital workplace tools.

- Experience applying or evolving a jobs-to-be-done framework across multiple product or service areas.

- Track record of shipping research that influenced enterprise-tooling, AI-adoption, or service-experience decisions.

- Ability to connect individual studies to an ongoing strategic framework.

- History of turning complex findings into actions that improve self-service, reduce confusion, or streamline workflows.
