Senior User Researcher – Digital Jobs Sheffield

Overview

Position Title: Senior User Researcher

Company: AND Digital

Location: Sheffield, UK

Job Description

At AND, we accelerate the development of digital capabilities. In practice, that means helping ambitious leaders and organisations build the teams, products, processes and even operational structures they need to close the digital skills gap within their organisation today, so that they thrive tomorrow.

Clients rely on our experience, agility and craft skills across tech and business strategy, software development and product management to address some of the toughest challenges facing their businesses.

We bring aboard thinkers, tinkerers, passionate software craftspeople and inspiring technologists to help us solve these challenges. Together, we’re united by a sense of pragmatism, purpose and a deeply-held belief that digital products and technology alone won’t transform a business or save the world: it’s the people that count.

Responsibilities:

• Demonstrable experience working as a mid to senior level Researcher in the Public Sector working to the Service Standards.
• You know how to include all kinds of users in appropriate research activities to help teams deliver accessible services.
• Able to help colleagues understand how digital technology is changing user behaviour, and the challenges and opportunities for government services.
• Able to align user research activities with objectives to create strategic insights that inform policy and propositions.
• Ability to work in an open, iterative and collaborative way in a multidisciplinary team.
• You have experience of working in agile, including an understanding of agile tools and practices and how to use them.

Requirements:

• We’re built for people – like, real humans. Not ‘resources’ or ‘staff’. That means happiness and wellbeing really do matter to us, and we hate unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy.
• There’s no well-trodden path ahead: AND is growing fast and forging a new trail. That’s exciting, and gives us all the autonomy and opportunity we love – but bear in mind it also demands focus, patience and resilience.
• Diversity is a priority. After all, to build great products that a wide variety of different people love to use, we need a wide variety of people to help us build them. So diversity is more than a policy or a word: it’s business critical for us.
