Job Description
User Experience (UX) Researchers work to answer the most
challenging questions in design. In this role, you will reveal what our users
need from our products by conducting primary research, exploring the behaviors
and motivations of our users, and working with teams of Designers, Product
Managers, Engineers and others to develop new features. You’ll inspire change
at all stages of product development by delivering exciting oral, written and
visual presentations about our findings. Most importantly, your job as a
researcher is to help the UX team understand what would make a user’s
experiences feel more intuitive, accessible, fun—and even magical.
In this role, you will be employing a variety of research
methods to achieve a foundational understanding of the market and its needs. As
this space is wide-open you will have the opportunity to lead research in a
meaningful way, and you're comprehension of research methods and when to use
them will be key to this. In addition, you will also understand multiple
complex end-to-end stories, and distill these findings down to their component
parts so that Design, Engineering, and Product Management can capitalize on
these conclusions.

About Google:
Building great products depends on great people. There are
more than 40,000 Googlers behind the tools that you use every day—from search
to Chrome. Find out more about what it’s like to work at Google, where we work
and who drives our company strategy below. It’s really the people that make Google the kind of company
it is. We hire people who are smart and determined, and we favor ability over
experience. Although Googlers share common goals and visions for the company,
we hail from all walks of life and speak dozens of languages, reflecting the
global audience that we serve. And when not at work, Googlers pursue interests
ranging from cycling to beekeeping, from frisbee to foxtrot. We strive to maintain the open culture often
associated with startups, in which everyone is a hands-on contributor and feels
comfortable sharing ideas and opinions. In our weekly all-hands (“TGIF”)
meetings—not to mention over email or in the cafe—Googlers ask questions
directly to Larry, Sergey and other execs about any number of company issues.
Our offices and cafes are designed to encourage interactions between Googlers
within and across teams, and to spark conversation about work as well as play.
