A Lot About You
As a Sr. User Researcher, you have a proven track record of shaping and delivering a wide range of generative and evaluative UX research projects across the entirety of the digital product life cycle. 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.

In addition, the Sr. researcher will have strong consumer sense, business acumen, strategic thinking, and the ability to see the big picture. Having effective problem-solving and communication skills as well as good common sense, will enable you to succeed in this role. You'll have a broad scope of responsibilities and opportunities to make a significant impact on product and business, as a strategic and tactical partner to Yahoo Comms' decision-makers through pre-, mid-, and post-decision stages.
