Devotion to excellence along every step of the research process alongside the ability to communicate trade-offs when faced with constraints
An inherent interest in shaping emerging UX Research processes and resources
The ability to work in environments where thorough documentation and over communication are critical – especially when collaborating with remote colleagues in different time zones
Passion for asking the right questions and ability to explore all available resources to formulate solutions to complex problems
An entrepreneurial mindset and exceptionally proactive about guiding strategic thinking in a greenfield, innovative product space
Experience broadly socializing UX Research findings, best practices, and a user-centric approach throughout an organization
Demonstrable portfolio or reports of past work that showcase excellent storytelling skills and a breakdown of your research planning, process, and decisions
Nice to have experience:

Interest in blockchain technology
Startup environment experience
Experience with research repositories (e.g., Dovetail) and/or developing customer panels
