What You'll Do:
Here's what you can expect on a typical day in the life of a Lead UX Researcher at ADP.
● Create Human Empathy. You're the lead voice asking "why" to understand what questions you need to answer and how data might help drive those decisions. You'll also create proposals and timelines to make these ideas a reality.
● Collaboration. You'll work each day with people from across the product development team, that are both co-located and geographically distributed, in a fast-paced environment to understand issues and communicate user priorities.
● Recruit & Collect. Having expertise with a variety of methods, you'll recruit and manage participants for your research and collect quantitative and qualitative data to meet product goals and support data-driven design.
● Analysis & Synthesis. You extract key insights that provide valuable information about user behaviors, needs, pain points, and preferences, informing product decisions. Crafting compelling research reports into coherent narratives that drive stakeholder alignment is one of your superpowers.
● Strategy and vision. We're always looking for new methods and approaches to reliable scientific data. You have a desire and aptitude for spotting User Experience research trends and turning them into enterprise recommendations.
● Variety of work. There is no typical day. You could be working on anything from unmoderated usability studies to strategic discovery projects in order to uncover human needs. You know how to recommend and apply different methods based project goals.

• Your expertise with UX research methods such as usability testing (unmoderated and moderated), interviews, surveys is required. You can represent user needs through discovery, business process flows, customer journey mapping, persona development and requirements gathering, and you know how to measure human behaviors and attitudes.
