UX Researcher

We are Skyward.   That is, a love for people, for improvement, for human advancement through information technology. We are a people-centered business with a desire to serve others. We are diverse and unified; creative and collaborative; a collection of complementary, not competing talents. And though on the surface we remain relaxed, beneath, a torrent of energy links us to our civic tech mission.   We stand by our values, and we won’t compromise on any of them.   Integrity: We’re conscientious, intentional, and empathetic. Our words and actions align. That’s our character. Please don’t ask us to play another part, we’re poor actors.    Compassionate: If we may borrow a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Because our team is thoughtful and supportive, caring deeply for each other, our clients, and our work, this comes naturally.  Inquisitive: We remain students by failing openly and turning lessons into solutions. Unconventional: For us, life isn’t what happens outside of work. Work happens inside of life and our culture erases the line often dividing the two.    Authentic: Made possible only because we embody the values listed above. We’re relaxed and fun yet intensely curious and driven. Team members are placed with thought, care, and precision to ensure that Trust, Truth, and Transparency continue to represent our brand.   Because of that, we continue Onward, Upward, and Skyward.

**We need a UX Researcher / Designer.
**Do you get a little thrill from watching a user do something you swore nobody would ever do, and then realizing they’re right and the design is wrong? Are you the person who asks, “but what were you actually trying to do?” until the real need falls out? If you can turn a messy pile of interviews into an insight the whole team rallies around, and then sketch the screen that fixes it, then please apply.

Let’s go Skyward together.

What you’ll do:

• Support a mission that matters. Help CMS deliver a world-class customer experience across its enterprise AI platform, grounding decisions in what users actually need.
• Turn research into insight. Plan and run interviews, usability sessions, and surveys - qualitative and quantitative - then synthesize the mess into findings people can act on.
• Dabble in design. Translate insights into low-fidelity wireframes and prototypes in Figma, partnering with the design team to shape and validate solutions (research-primary, but you get your hands on the pixels).
• Map the experience. Build personas, journey maps, and service blueprints that show how users interact with AI services and where it hurts.
