Why join frog?
We are looking for a talented Lead Design Researcher to join our studio in Philadelphia.
At frog, we believe and know that great design is founded in strong user insights. By taking a human-centered approach, we uncover people’s needs, motivations, and behaviors to define key opportunities to improve our clients’ processes, services, or products.
As an Associate Director of Design Research, you have experience leading all research aspects of an engagement, from managing recruitment and gathering user requirements and needs, to analyzing and synthesizing research data, communicating findings to clients, and translating research into tactical and strategic design output.
In addition to applying your design research skills to new types of user experience challenges, you will also provide oversight and leadership to the broader team, with managerial responsibilities for 2 – 4 junior design researchers.
You have a substantial track record of applying design research methods, from usability testing to survey design to diary studies, to complex problems using human centered design practices. Not only do you understand the importance of user experience, but you also know how to build that strategically and communicate it to our clients and design teams.
You are passionate about solving design challenges together on a team of other researchers, designers, developers, and producers. You strive to tell compelling, insight-driven user stories that propel decision-making and strategy.
