Edinburgh, United Kingdom UserTesting Full time

We're UserTesting, a leader in experience research and insights; we believe the path to human understanding and great experiences start with a shared understanding—seeing and hearing how another person engages with the world around them and taking in their perspective. Working at UserTesting, you will be empowered to help organizations discover the human side of business-transforming how they work, collaborate, innovate, and bring new products and experiences to market. This is what inspires us, and it's how we enable companies to connect with their audiences naturally and organically through an experience that is uniquely, and intentionally human.

A trusted company by top brands for 15+ years, UserTesting, recently merged with UserZoom, has over 3,400 customers in 50 countries, including 75 of the Fortune 100 companies. Joining our team means being part of a passionate group focused on transforming how companies learn from and understand their customers. Come join us and help us build the engine for human understanding.

Our internship is not only an opportunity for you to learn, develop and gain experience in a market-leading, global software company, it's an opportunity for you to bring diversity, ideas and energy to UserTesting. If you'd like to hear more about it, watch our short video

**The Opportunity**

You'll quickly learn the day-to-day responsibilities of the compensation and benefits roles on the team by observing, asking questions, reading existing documentation and participating in tasks and then you'll go on to create and/or build upon documentation of processes and procedures (pay range requests from Talent Acquisition, People Business Partners, Managers and Employees, compensation analysis requests, data audits across platforms, etc.) for backups to reference when someone on the team is out of the office.
