We are looking for a UX Researcher who will collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and marketing to identify research questions, conduct studies, and translate findings into actionable insights.

• Conduct research to better understand our users, their needs, and their experiences

• Partner with Product Design, Product, Data, and Engineering to help guide product decisions

• Turn research findings into clear, actionable insights

• Share insights in simple, useful ways through readouts, summaries, and other research materials

• Build and maintain research resources so teams can easily find and use past learnings

• Look for ways to improve and scale research practices, tools, and processes

• Champion a user-centered approach by bringing empathy and evidence into the product development process

What you have:

• 4+ years of experience conducting UX or product research in a product organization

• Experience running a variety of qualitative research methods (usability testing, moderated and unmoderated studies)

• Ability to synthesize complex findings into clear, actionable insights that influence product decisions

• Experience partnering with product managers, designers, and engineers in fast-moving product teams

• Strong storytelling and communication skills, with the ability to present insights to both design and non-design audiences

• A collaborative mindset and curiosity about how people manage money and navigate financial challenges
