    A Little About Us

    The Research team is committed to championing people-centered experiences that bridge the gap between our users, designers, product managers, engineers, marketing, and editorial to generate empathy and identify opportunities to improve our product experiences.

    We are a team embedded across product organizations. We sit side by side with all of the teams and work hard to ensure collaboration, communication, and visibility.

    We are looking to hire an experienced User Experience Researcher to play a critical role in our Yahoo Communications (Comms) research team.

    A Lot About You
    As a Sr.

    Your thought leadership and deliverables will be critical in our ongoing effort to better enable product and design teams to make informed, confident decisions and to set the strategy for future products and features.

    At Yahoo, you will collaborate with a multitude of stakeholders in a challenging environment to deliver key insights that will drive the next generation of our products.

    We are a fast-moving company, and direct experience in both traditional and modern approaches to recruitment, diverse research methods, and impactful reporting is a must.

    No matter if you are engaging in in-depth interviews, user acquisition research, retention analysis, behavioral data analysis, competitive analysis, survey design, or usability studies, you are a deep and insightful thinker who both revels in the challenge of a complex problem and can bring a fresh perspective to your work.

    Specifically, the Sr.

    Choosing the right research at the right time and communicating meaningful, actionable insights effectively and efficiently to impact business.
    Investigating user engagement patterns through A/B testing and experimentation, conducting qualitative studies to identify opportunities to enhance user retention, and iterating on approaches and collaborating with stakeholders to continuously improve outcomes, working closely with Yahoo Analytics
    Producing compelling and digestible deliverables focused on telling the story and highlighting important insights, and providing a holistic point of view for growth with necessary product behavioral data
    Socializing, collaborating, and presenting research to multiple teams and leaders across the organization


    Other additional responsibilities:


    Mentoring junior and mid-level UX researchers by providing guidance, feedback, and support, to ensure the quality of research work and contribute to the overall success and growth of the research team.

    Bachelor's or Master's in HCI, Information Systems, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Economics, Marketing, Psychology, Sociology, or similar field of study

    Experience in conducting user acquisition/conversion research and retention analysis, and synthesizing insights from multi-method studies, including experiment behavioral data.
    Familiarity with A/B testing, experimentation and behavioral data analysis (e.g., synthesizing experiment data, behavioral data and UXR learnings)
    Experience in Agile product development environment. A healthy understanding of how to balance the fast-paced, flexible nature of generative and iterative research with the rigor, and collaborate with internal data analytics focusing on iterative product/design development
    Knowledge of user-centric design principles and methodologies, including heuristic evaluation.

    A portfolio demonstrating previous work experience and deliverables, that illustrate how your research informed business strategy and product decisions, and your research pipeline and your ability to delve into in-depth understanding of user mental model and behavior and extract actionable insights from quantitative and qualitative data.
