Description

Robert Half is looking for a Mid to Senior Level UX Researcher who can independently drive high-impact research across the product lifecycle—from foundational exploration to evaluative testing. In this role, the UX Researcher will partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Legal/Compliance, and Engineering to inform strategic decisions and optimize user experience in an emerging domain that blends financial behavior with sports fandom. The UX Researcher will own and execute mixed-methods research that uncovers customer needs, identifies friction points, validates concepts, and guides product direction.
