ExperienceLab is a Customer Experience research and design agency dedicated to informing investment and design decisions based on tangible customer evidence. Being part of the Serco Group provides unique research and service design opportunities in such as hospitals and prisons, where our work can make a real difference to people's lives. We also have a successful and growing private sector client base, working with some truly exciting and innovative brand names. And as our Senior UX Researcher you'll play an important role in our customer and user led work.

In this role you'll lead a small team of consultants to plan and conduct discovery research to uncover the behaviours and motivations of customers and users across a variety of environments (both digital and physical) - and then use your research and design thinking to produce innovative solutions for our client's business challenges. This will involve creating and contributing to design concepts and recommendations and prototyping. You'll also plan, co-ordinate and conduct usability tests, expert evaluations and in-depth research interviews in order to create personas, customer journey maps, process flows and more.

​​Another key element of the role will see you supporting with business development initiatives through shaping proposals in response to client briefs. This is a broad and stimulating research role that involves much more than just usability testing.

What you'll need to do the role:

If you are someone who relishes solving complex problems; is not daunted by tough project challenges or tough stakeholders; feels comfortable dealing with ambiguity or a lack of structure, such as projects with a wide brief or where you need to work out the way forward and come up with an approach, then we want to hear from you!

Your approach will be "How can we do this" rather than "we can't do that". You won't shrink from being involved in business development and contributing to proposal writing and you will feel strongly about helping shape and contribute to the growth of our team and our practice.

This is a varied and challenging role for a mid-senior level Consultant with extensive experience in UX research or a Service Design background. We are keen to hear from those who have Government Digital Service experience and those who have experience in mentoring, coaching junior team members. Employees will be working remotely.
