Qualitative User Experience Researcher, Shoppers (Contractor)

Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward.

We are looking for a Qualitative UX Researcher to join the shoppers team. In this cross-functional role, you will play an integral part in developing products that demonstrate the unique value that Pinterest delivers in driving inspiration to action. You will tackle high priority projects end-to-end across teams in our consumer-facing shopping product teams. You will define your research roadmap and scope projects based on team priorities and constraints while collaborating closely with other researchers to partner on projects and synthesize findings across studies.

What you’ll do:

• Conduct qualitative research that varies in approach, scale, scope, timeframe and methodologies (this could look like in-depth interviews, diary studies, focus groups, concept testing, or usability testing)
• Lead research projects from beginning to end (define study goals, construct a research plan, recruit, gather data, synthesize learnings, and socialize insights)
• Proactively communicate and share your research findings with product teams and other audiences in compelling, actionable, and engaging ways
• Align on priorities with cross-functional partners (product management, design, engineering, and data science)
• Collaborate with other researchers to build upon knowledge and synthesize perspectives
• Triangulate learnings from multiple sources (not just research you’ve executed), including market research findings and behavioral data

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years experience designing and conducting end-to-end product research
• Experience with conducting foundational and generative research, not just tactical
• Strong ability in tying research insights to product implications
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Can-do attitude with a bias for action and a focus on impact
• Product research experience at a consumer tech company
• Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-moving environment
• Experience supporting multiple teams simultaneously
