Suppose you love solving problems through an intensely collaborative research process, providing strategic recommendations to help companies move the needle by building customer empathy, creating a meaningful experience, and communicating these ideas. In that case, you may be our ideal candidate.  In applying for this job, you’ll assess current research practices and functions, provide a path forward for our customers, and help our customers surface invaluable insights that influence the following steps and critical decisions that drive action.  We seek a highly organized, goal-oriented, self-motivated, self-managed individual who has a strong passion for executing innovative research.

• Bring strategic thinking and business acumen to facilitate discussions with customers about their companies’ business objectives and how research drives their success
• Mentor junior consultants to help them expand how they work with different customer challenges and grow their skill sets
• Plan and lead workshops and trainings around crucial customer needs (e.g., scaling research, measuring KPIs, research operations, benchmarking) 
• Enable customers in UserTesting use cases, methodologies (qualitative and quantitative), and platform features. You will tailor enablement based on customers’ specific goals and level of research experience.
• Drive adoption of UserTesting as an embedded solution into customers’ processes by giving them industry best practices in research operations and acumen in when and how to test
• Collaborate closely with the UserTesting account teams to support client retention and growth

• Excellent written and oral communication, persuasion, storytelling, and compelling group presentation skills
• Excellent organizational skills - ability to multitask, prioritize, and manage time effectively
• Experience working with remote user testing tools (if that’s UserTesting it’s a bonus, but any experience with other tools will still be great)
• Comfort working in a fast-paced consulting environment, managing multiple projects autonomously, and maintaining strong customer relationships
• Ideally willing to travel to customer on-sites (sparingly)
