Job description
We're UserTesting, a leader in experience research and insights; we believe the path to human understanding and great experiences start with a shared understanding—seeing and hearing how another person engages with the world around them and taking in their perspective. Working at UserTesting, you will be empowered to help organizations discover the human side of business–transforming how they work, collaborate, innovate, and bring new products and experiences to market. This is what inspires us, and it's how we enable companies to connect with their audiences naturally and organically through an experience that is uniquely, and intentionally human.

This is achieved through:
Working collaboratively with stakeholders to translate questions, concepts and requirements into research proposals, choosing the appropriate methodologies and audiences.
Engaging with our customers and contributors to discover and better understand their needs, through moderated and unmoderated research techniques.
Conducting careful analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, to produce clear findings, and articulating these findings and recommendations, both written and verbally.
