Senior UX Researcher
About The Position
Own end-to-end research for a defined set of product areas - from framing the right questions to delivering findings that drive real product and business decisions. Design and execute mixed-method research programs, combining qualitative depth with quantitative rigor to produce insights that hold up across scale. Proactively identify the highest-leverage research opportunities within your product areas, building a research agenda that gets ahead of the roadmap rather than responding only to incoming requests. Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data Science as a peer strategic voice - shaping roadmaps, surfacing risks, and challenging assumptions with user evidence. Lead research on sensitive and personal topics - including sexual health, men's wellness, and LGBTQ+ experiences - with the trust-building and methodological care these areas demand. Expand the team's quantitative research capabilities, introducing scalable methods and frameworks that raise the bar for how UXR operates at Grindr.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product research experience, with a track record of independently owning research within a complex, fast-moving product environment
- Strong mixed-method foundation with demonstrated quantitative depth - surveys at scale, conjoint analysis, statistical analysis, or equivalent
- Experience conducting research on sensitive or personal topics, with a demonstrated ability to build trust, ensure participant safety, protect participant privacy and navigate nuanced subject matter with care
- Proven cross-functional influence - you've shaped product decisions, not just informed them, working as a peer to PM and Design rather than a downstream service
- Experience working on consumer products with a large and diverse user base, ideally in social, dating, health, or community-driven contexts
- Clear, compelling communication of research findings to both working teams and senior stakeholders - you translate complexity into clarity
Nice To Haves
- Thrive with real ownership and a wide aperture - you're energized by broad scope, not slowed down by it
- Are AI-native or rapidly becoming so - you actively use AI tools in your workflow and are always looking for new ways to leverage them
- Care deeply about the communities you research - you bring genuine curiosity and respect to work that touches people's identities, health, and relationships
- Are comfortable operating in a lean, high-trust environment where you define the research agenda, not just execute against it
- Move fluidly between strategic framing and hands-on execution - you're as comfortable in a research session as you are in a product strategy conversation
