About the role

Senior UX Researcher role at YouTube focusing on driving user-centered insights across complex problem spaces, partnering with cross-functional teams, and maturing UX research practice within a multi-disciplinary group.

Responsibilities

  • Own the research agenda for a complex problem space - directing tactical work across Rapid Research, vendors, and teammates, while saving bandwidth for high-uncertainty strategic questions.
  • Partner with leadership to look beyond features and bring a clear point of view to decisions, and challenge proposed solutions that won't serve users.
  • Partner with Data Science, Engineers, and fellow researchers to weave qual, quant, and prior insights into unified narratives - and ensure new products are instrumented to measure what matters.
  • Use AI tools to strip friction from synthesis and knowledge sharing, while helping shape new human-AI experiences and anticipating emerging risks.
  • Build trusted cross-functional partnerships, design immersions that bring teammates closer to users, mentor peers, and help evolve UXR practice across Google.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 6 years of experience of experience in an applied research setting (e.g., product or academic), or similar.
  • Experience with research methods (e.g., usability, studies, contextual inquires, 1:1 interviews, unmoderated research studies).
