About the role

This is a tactical, high-velocity role: you'll run lightweight usability and concept tests on a steady cadence, identify what's not working, and help teams translate feedback into concrete product changes.
This role is ideal for a researcher who loves the craft of moderated testing, can context-switch across many teams, and thrives in a "many small studies" model.
This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City.

Help teams evaluate early ideas (storyboards, low/high-fidelity prototypes, new IA) to understand desirability, comprehension, and expected workflows-before teams invest heavily in build.
Deliver crisp, actionable recommendation (severity, confidence, recommended next steps) in the right format for the audience-async write-ups, clips, or working sessions.
You excel at prioritizing in fast-moving environments, are comfortable with ambiguity, and can deliver quality research quickly with transparent limitations.
