64 Teksystems User Experience Researcher Jobs Hiring Near You

Description

Our organization is establishing an experience-led operating model to improve adoption, clarity, and outcomes across priority internal business initiatives. The Senior UX Researcher will provide embedded, pragmatic research that quickly identifies where experiences break down, what users need, and what improvements will deliver measurable impact.

This role is designed for quick wins and delivery acceleration through rapid discovery, usability audits, and continuous feedback loops that inform Experience Design (XD), Adoption Experience (AX), and business transformation efforts. This is not an academic research role; it is a hands-on, outcome-driven position.

Duties and Responsibilities1. Rapid Discovery & Persona Foundations

• Conduct lightweight discovery to validate key user segments and contexts (employees, internal stakeholders, and partner workflows) and translate findings into practical personas and user needs.
• Establish shared language for user goals, constraints, and success measures across teams.

2. Usability Audits & Quick-Hit Recommendations

• Perform usability and heuristic evaluations of priority tools and workflows to identify friction, confusion, and adoption barriers.
• Deliver concise, prioritized recommendations that can be actioned quickly by design and delivery teams.

3. Evaluation of In-Flight Work (Build-Aligned Research)

• Run fast, iterative testing (concept tests, moderated/unmoderated usability sessions, prototype tests) aligned to delivery timelines.
• Provide evidence-based guidance to prevent rework and ensure experiences are ready for adoption at launch.

4. Insight-to-Action Enablement

• Translate research findings into clear, decision-ready outputs (insight briefs, opportunity statements, experience principles, acceptance criteria inputs).
• Partner with designers to ensure research is incorporated into user flows, patterns, and design system decisions.

5. Adoption-Informed Experience

• Collaborate with change management and adoption teams to identify confidence, readiness, and behavior-change risks early.
• Help shape messaging, readiness activities, and reinforcement strategies based on real user sentiment and barriers.

6. Research Operations (Lightweight, Practical)

• Establish a simple cadence and repository for research learnings to ensure insights are reusable and accessible.
• Define a lightweight research intake and prioritization approach aligned to organizational priorities.

• Collaboration with design: Comfortable partnering with designers to turn insights into flows, patterns, and decision criteria.

Preferred Skills

• Experience researching employee-facing tools, CRM workflows, productivity platforms, or distributed workforce environments.
• Familiarity with design systems as a consumer of patterns and standards.
