We are looking for a Senior UX Researcher to help us define what research looks like at Fetch through example, and build repeatable research processes that can be adopted by other UX researchers and product designers. While our team conducts a lot of research and usability tests, you would be our first dedicated UX researcher, which means you’ll get to set our research strategy, shape our research culture and practices, and coach and partner with the product design team on building delightful and intuitive experiences.
