About us
At Text, you'll join a UX Research team that moves fast and shapes what we build. We work in continuous discovery mode: embedded in product squads, testing ideas early, and influencing direction with evidence, not documents. As we push deeper into AI-driven commerce solutions, you'll be exploring uncharted territory, validating emerging concepts, and helping decide what gets built next.
We build TextApp, an AI-first customer communication platform used globally by 38,000+ customers, analyzing data from 1M daily users and handling 3B+ chats.a scale where strong research immediately affects how thousands of companies operate.
This is a fixed-term role until April 2027, opened as maternity cover, with a chance for continuation depending on future needs and mutual fit.
What you'll do
Run the full research process end-to-end: define research goals, build hypotheses, and create research scenarios tailored to real product problems.Recruit smart and scrappy. Finding and booking the right US customers for interviews takes creativity and persistence — you'll need to be good at this.Work closely with product teams and uncover user needs, behaviours, and motivations through qualitative research, and combine these insights with quantitative validation.Move fast in ambiguity. Spot research opportunities before they're obvious — weird usage patterns, adoption gaps, contradictory signals — and propose what to investigate.Use AI as your co-pilot. Leverage AI tools for interview moderation, synthesis, clustering, insight generation — whatever accelerates good decisions.Communicate insights in real-time through Slack, quick debriefs, and live sessions. We don't do 40-slide decks - we share learnings early, often, and actionably. Ensure stakeholders understand the “so what” behind findings and help them translate insights into product direction.
