Are you able to write thorough and engaging UX research findings?
Would you like to join a team of dedicated usability research writers, who analyze and write about cutting-edge User Experience research? Producing UX research findings that will be used by thousands of web professionals, including some of the biggest brands in the world (including Nike, Sears, Lenovo, Etsy)? Are you excellent at presenting complex research findings on web user behavior through the written word? Then apply for the following remote full-time position at Baymard Institute. About Your Job at Baymard In this position, you will join Baymardâs team of usability researchers and primarily work with analyzing our raw annotated usability test data and writing the insights from this into usability guidelines. The guidelines go directly into our subscription platform Baymard Premium.
Our Baymard Premium customers are eagerly waiting for your UX research insights, be it the UI designer at Nike or the e-commerce director at Lenovo, as they use it as direct input for their UX and UI design decisions.
In this role, youâll need to enjoy writing, since writing and articulating usability test findings will be at least 80% of what youâll be doing all year round.
Besides writing, the job involves analyzing web user behavior, identifying themes and issues across multiple sites, and coming up with proposals for design patterns that can alleviate the identified problems. The test data primarily come from qualitative moderated think-aloud usability tests (experience with usability testing is a plus, but not a requirement).
In this job, youâll be directly shaping the future of e-commerce, become a published usability research author within your first couple of months on the job, and should expect to join the ranks of the absolute top experts within e-commerce usability within a few years (if you arenât already).
Along with analyzing and writing duties, youâll also contribute to peer reviewing (helping colleagues craft their own writing) and quality assurance of writing across the team for content and consistency. Previous experience editing with developmental editing or copyediting, is therefore an advantage.
We want to work with the smartest and most dedicated people around the world, and the position is therefore open to full-time remote work. All of Baymardâs current team is already working remotely, so the entire company is structured around remote work. In other words, you are welcome to work with us from any location you prefer â as long as thereâs a stable internet connection.
Job Qualifications While we will train you in Baymardâs methodology and analysis process, we expect that you have the following qualifications. The numbers in brackets indicate the weighted importance of each on a 7-point scale (higher = more important). These weights reflect how candidates are evaluated, so make sure your application illustrates your prowess in the highest-weighted skills and traits.
We furthermore expect that you are comfortable working remotely via digital platforms. However, as most of our team is either based in the eastern USA or western Europe, you must have at least 2 hours of daily scheduled work overlap with those timezones.
Salary: in accordance with qualifications.
Start date: as soon as possible. How to Apply If youâre interested in this position, please send the following:
Send the above to info+research-writer-2020@baymard.com (all applications and materials are treated confidentially).
Deadline is April 6th, 2020 - but apply as soon as possible.
Note: Based on the applications, a few selected candidates will be assigned a paid writing and analysis test, which will be the main evaluation criterion for the position. This will also be a good way for you to get a feel for the primary task of this job. (The test will be performed remotely. Youâll be given a real usability test dataset to analyze and describe within a 10-day deadline.)
Sincerely,
Edward Scott, senior UX researcher at the Baymard Institute
