  • Conducting usability tests with lawyers and clerks based on designs created by our product team and assisting with iteration processes.
  • Critiquing wireframes and prototypes along with using user insights to offer alternative ideas.
  • Identifying, articulating and prioritizing potential usability issues.
  • Facilitating internal meetings to triage and/or manage research findings.
  • Communicating usability analysis, recommendations and potential design solutions.

You probably possess some of the following skills/ experience/ interest:

  • Practical experience executing both generative and evaluation research methodologies.
  • Great collaboration skills and a love for working with others to understand and solve user problems.
  • Experience with common user research and usability testing methodologies and proven ability using data to inform your designs and decisions.
