UX Researcher

6sense•Austin, TX

2d•$94,500 - $138,600•Remote

About The Position

6sense builds AI-driven products for B2B marketing and sales teams. Our research team helps decide what we build, and we have built AI research agents so product managers, product designers, and content designers can run more of their own studies. As a UX Researcher II, you will help make that self-serve research trustworthy and help it grow. You will coach partners, triage requests by the risk of the decision at stake, build safeguards for AI-assisted research, and run focused studies where a researcher adds the most value. You will work in fast sprint cycles with product management, product design, content design, engineering, analytics, and R&D Operations. Our market and our AI tools move quickly, and many questions arrive before the answers are clear. You will bring clarity to that work: well-framed questions, organized operations, and findings told as clear, honest stories that state plainly what we know, what we do not, and how confident we are. Above all, we are looking for someone who is humble, adaptable, and teachable, and who never compromises on the truth. Tools, methods, and priorities will keep changing. Respect for evidence will not.

Requirements

2-4 years of UX research experience in a product development environment, ideally B2B SaaS or other complex products, with a portfolio or case studies that show studies you owned, how you told the story, and the decisions it informed.
Excellent reading, writing, and speaking skills. You absorb dense technical, quantitative, and qualitative information, simplify it without losing accuracy, and tell a clear, compelling story that supports sound decisions. You also push back respectfully and use evidence to help a team align.
Proven experience collaborating with product managers, designers, and engineers.
Working knowledge of usability and mixed methods, with a clear approach to data analysis and measurement.
Experience using AI tools in research, and a critical eye for hallucinations, unsupported claims, and weak reasoning. You verify before you share.
Demonstrated proficiency in using industry-standard UX research tools, like Great Question, UserTesting, Dovetail, Qualtrics, Pendo.
Exposure to B2B marketing, sales, or martech products. We will help you learn the domain.
