Job Description

Senior User Experience Researcher at Milestone shaping customer insights into product strategies. Mentoring researchers and collaborating across teams to enhance user experience globally.

Responsibilities:

  • Turn research into clear guidance leaders can use to make decisions.
  • Build continuous discovery habits that help teams move faster, with fewer assumptions and less rework.
  • Build simple, scalable ways for teams to access and use insights, even when a researcher isn’t in the room.
  • Help establish a culture of mapping, using journeys to drive conversations, surface opportunities, and align teams.
  • Augment research practices with AI in balanced, responsible ways, while keeping human judgment and empathy at the forefront.
  • Partner closely with product, design, engineering, and business teams to learn with customers through prototyping, limited releases, and real-world testing.
  • Mentor other UX Researchers by helping them see where they are, where they can grow next, and by acting as a thoughtful sounding board when they’re stuck or unsure.
  • Translate signals from CRM and support platforms (e.g. Salesforce, Zendesk) into research questions and journey opportunities, connecting operational data with qualitative human understanding.
  • Collaborate with Customer success, Technical Support, and Sales enablement teams to surface insights that improve post-sale experiences.
  • Design and facilitate workshops and service blueprinting sessions that span organizational boundaries. Bringing together internal teams, partners, and customers to map and improve complex service experiences.

Requirements:

  • Well‑established background in UX Research, Service Design, or Experience Strategy with a strong record of practical impact.

  • Proven track record of influencing stakeholders through storytelling, evidence, and clear recommendations.
  • Experience mentoring or coaching researchers or adjacent roles.
  • Fluency in English, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, and adapt in a changing environment.
  • Willingness to collaborate across time zones and adjust working hours as needed.
  • Comfort working with operational data sources such as CRM platforms, support ticket systems, or customer health dashboards to triangulate qualitative findings (not as an analyst, but as a researcher who can orient independently).
  • Experience conducting or supporting service design work. Including service blueprinting, touchpoint mapping across digital and non-digital channels, and cross-functional facilitation.
