ABOUT THIS POSITION

As a Product Researcher at Aceable, you will take center stage in our Product Design team, driving the evolution of our products through insightful research that supports both Product and Marketing initiatives. We are seeking a dynamic individual who thrives on collaboration, possesses exceptional communication skills, and is eager to explore the intersection of user behavior and product development. Additionally, user experience design skills (creating personas, wireframes, user flows, interactive prototypes, etc.) are a plus.

Research plays a key part in the product development process by helping the team understand opportunities to improve our student experience and how we pitch our products against our competitors. Working at pace is key as we experiment with processes, methodologies, and ways of working to provide product teams with critical insights as quickly as possible.

You are a strong and empathetic listener, an excellent communicator, comfortable in a dynamic organization, excited to collaborate, and passionate about understanding our students.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Lead and organize research projects, utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover customer needs and translate insights into actionable strategies for product development and marketing.
  • Align with business goals by deeply understanding objectives and creating tailored surveys to unearth valuable insights from potential customers.
  • Collaborate seamlessly with stakeholders, including Product Managers, Designers, Analysts, and Engineers, to define research objectives, provide actionable feedback, and guide projects from inception to fruition.
  • Engage in user-centric interactive design, employing traditional user experience expertise to craft user flows, wireframes, and interactive Figma prototypes. Use these prototypes to gather user feedback, driving iterative design improvements and a user-centered approach.
  • Synthesize, summarize, and share key research findings in succinct and creative ways to a variety of stakeholders and partners.
  • Provide mentorship and support to team members, fostering a culture of research excellence, and contributing to the ongoing evolution of our research capabilities.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • 5+ years of UX-focused product research experience
  • Experience with qualitative and quantitative research and methodologies to choose the best method for the job.
  • A genuine passion for unraveling the intricacies of user behavior and motivations, driving the creation of user-centric products.
  • Comfort in a dynamic environment, demonstrating the flexibility to navigate shifting priorities while maintaining high-quality research standards.
  • Ability to include research project details into agile product deadlines and roadmaps
  • Experience using Figma/sketch as a wireframing and UI design tool
  • Clear, effective, and compelling presentation and communication skills
  • A current portfolio with research based case studies. Bonus points if you also have samples of more traditional UI/Product design projects.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Aceable’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
