About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Mixed-Methods UX Researcher to independently lead research studies across qualitative and quantitative tracks. You will be the primary point of contact for clients, guide the research strategy end-to-end, and mentor junior researchers translating complex consumer insights into compelling, decision-ready narratives for stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary client point of contact guiding stakeholders on the most appropriate research strategy to address their business objectives and facilitating briefings, progress updates, and post-study discussions.
  • Connect research outcomes to client objectives, market realities, and strategic decision-making, building trust with clients, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.
  • Design proposals and pitches for client studies, driving alignment on research recommendations.
  • Lead primary research end-to-end across a diverse range of mixed methods approaches including in-depth interviews (IDIs), usability testing, diary studies, ethnography, surveys, journey mapping, concept testing, card sorting, co-design sessions, heuristic evaluations, and prototype evaluations.
  • Design and execute quantitative surveys, discussion guides, and research frameworks with methodological rigour; proficient in survey design, data collection (e.g., Qualtrics), data cleaning, and inferential statistics (t-tests, ANOVA, multivariate analysis).
  • Utilise Python, R, or SQL for data manipulation, computational statistics, and data extraction to ensure robust, trustworthy findings.
  • Synthesise large, complex datasets and qualitative inputs into clear, actionable insights strategically decoding consumer needs and communicating them through the art of storytelling.
  • Prepare reports and presentations (PowerPoint, Google Slides) that translate numbers and narratives into compelling stories resonating with stakeholders.
  • Challenge assumptions, validate findings, and ensure methodological rigour throughout the research lifecycle.
  • Manage projects end-to-end, proactively addressing issues to ensure smooth execution and on-time delivery.
  • Guide and mentor junior researchers across qualitative and quantitative projects, building mixed-methods capability within the team.
  • Partner effectively with analysts, designers, product managers, and other researchers fostering collaboration and encouraging innovation in research practices.
  • Manage the full programme workflow intake process, progress tracking, and templated study plans, deliverables, and communications against quality guidelines and milestone-based reviews by the overseeing FTE UXR.

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of experience in qualitative and/or quantitative research across multiple categories and/or geographies.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in comprehensive mixed-methods methodologies, including generative and longitudinal approaches.
  • Specialised knowledge in advanced quantitative research, survey design, and statistical analysis — including multivariate and inferential statistics.
  • Expertise in data manipulation and computational statistics using Python or R; proficiency with SQL for data extraction.
  • Strong stakeholder management, communication, and active listening skills — with the ability to turn nuanced research findings into persuasive narratives.
  • Experience independently managing client relationships and research projects from briefing to delivery.
