⭐Our User Research team team

We are currently a team of 17 individual contributors, who are embedded into collectives i.e Core Banking, Business Banking etc, working cross functionally with Product Design, Product Management and Engineering teams. Our research organisation is led by Hayley Camille Morgan and Katherine Vaughan, our Directors of Research

 

🔑You’ll play a key role by

  • Plan and run qualitative studies, including field observations and interviews, diary studies remote and in-person concept testing and usability studies for existing and future products.
  • Identify actionable insights through quantitative methods, including conducting surveys and performing max diff analysis.
  • Work with other researchers to connect the dots across multiple teams. 
  • Evaluate and explore information architecture, using tree-tests, card-sorts and whatever other methods are appropriate. 
  • Work within a cross-functional team to develop and deliver product strategy, including building a deep understanding of customer needs and market opportunities, and how we’ll continue to differentiate ourselves and grow. 
  • Collaborate with and influence key stakeholders across the organisation, including the wider product teams, company leadership, finance, marketing, compliance, legal, regulatory affairs and more to get alignment and support for the strategy. 
  • Work closely with Product Managers, Product Designers, Engineers and other User Researchers to generate hypotheses and plans for high-impact research that helps us better understand our existing and potential customers and how to create a better product that solves their problems and meets their needs.
  • Lead the research for your squads suggesting the best approach and methods to use so we’re capturing the right insights that help us grow and develop our product in our mission to Make Money Work For Everyone.

🤩We’d love to hear from you if

  • You’ve got lots of hands-on experience with exploratory and evaluative qualitative research methods, appreciating their limitations and when to apply them appropriately.
  • You have experience building products for new markets, cultures, and languages.
  • You've worked in a multidisciplinary team environment before, and made a demonstrable impact on the direction of the product or service for your area.
  • You can run user testing with your eyes closed, regardless of the setting. You should be comfortable in a lab as well as stopping people in the street for quick feedback or setting up remote tests.
  • You’re familiar with quantitative research and understand how user research helps shape metrics and drive teams towards success.
  • You're happy user testing on mobile. We’re a mobile-only bank, so if you’ve got experience with both iOS and Android we’ll love you even more.
  • You appreciate robust research study design, but can also consider practical constraints and business goals – you understand what 'just enough research' means.
  • You’re a strong communicator and facilitator. You’re able to tell a story so your audience will want to listen to and zoom into detail when needed to help solutions come to life.
