About the Engagement

This is a UX research role embedded within an established e-commerce team at a large software company. The team's work is fast-paced and primarily evaluative: quick-turn usability and concept testing that informs decisions on a short cycle.

The research scope centers on the company's website and software license purchasing pathways — how people explore the site, engage with marketing, and move through to purchase. The role pairs qualitative testing with behavioral analytics data, and uses AI workflows to keep pace with the volume of work.

Responsibilities

  • Plan and run quick-turn usability studies and concept tests on website, marketing, and purchasing experiences

  • Turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations and deliver them on a fast cycle

  • Use behavioral analytics data to inform what gets tested and to give qualitative findings quantitative context

  • Build and apply AI workflows to accelerate research planning, synthesis, and reporting

  • Partner with stakeholders across the team to scope incoming research requests

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of UX research experience

  • Demonstrated experience running quick-turn usability testing and concept testing in a fast-paced environment

  • Hands-on experience with behavioral and digital experience analytics tools such as FullStory or similar

  • Experience implementing AI workflows for research — able to describe specifically where AI accelerates the work and where human judgment stays in the loop

  • Experience researching website or purchasing/conversion experiences

  • Excellent communication skills — able to synthesize quickly and present clearly to diverse audiences

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in software license e-commerce, conversion, or funnel research

  • Experience partnering with Marketing stakeholders
