In order to fulfill our mission of an open financial system, we need to onboard the institutional finance and investment world into crypto. User research is critical to understanding this unique type of customer and knowing how to design trading and custodial products for them.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Serve as a strategic research partner for the Institutional product and design teams

  • Coordinate and conduct mixed-methods research, including interviews, usability testing, concept testing, surveys, fieldwork, and other methods as needed
  • Provide thoughtful guidance and education to stakeholders to turn vague business needs into actionable research questions
  • Contribute to internal research processes such as archiving and communicating findings internally
  • Partner with other researchers on larger strategic research initiatives and internal team process

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • 5+ years of user research experience, preferably on B2B, enterprise, or institutional products
  • Experience with all common user research methods, skilled at selecting the right tool for the job
  • Can successfully manage project prioritization and stakeholder relationships independently
  • Polished client-services attitude appropriate for interacting with VCs and hedge funds
  • Provides both confident team leadership and patient guidance to a range of stakeholder levels
  • Strong business mindset, with an eye on KPIs and company strategy
  • Adaptability, with a willingness to abandon methodological perfectionism
  • Excellent hustle—our industry moves at lightning speed—supporting several projects at a time
  • Easily communicates complex concepts, with ability to influence others
  • Collaborative attitude, team mentality, and humility without territorialism
  • A learner’s mindset, seeing feedback as a chance to grow

Nice to haves:

  • Personal knowledge or interest in finance, investing, or trading
  • Experience working with high-volume investors, VCs, or hedge funds
  • Knowledge of cryptocurrency
