As a user researcher at hedgehog lab you'll work with a multi-disciplinary team of designers, product managers, and engineers to help design and build user-centred experiences.
You'll be responsible for working closely with clients to plan research studies, expertly managing stakeholder expectations, and crafting projects for maximum impact.

You'll be the voice of the user, continuously ensuring they are at the centre of our product development activities – so we always know what we're building, who we're building for, and why.
