Someone in my circle might genuinely be interested in this, but it won’t make Ben’s Senior, Remote, UX Research Jobs List (someone please suggest a pithier name!), for three reasons: ⭐️ Mixed Design/Research roles are not UX Research Roles ⭐️ Very few people (relatively) can do either (UX Design, UX Research) with a high level of skill; doing both exceptionally well requires many years of experience, and this role doesn’t seem to be seeking someone with a 10+ years under their belt. ⭐️ Companies that combine these roles are not correctly prioritizing generative research; so you’re likely being asked to design a thing based on “business requirements”, and then *maybe* you get a couple of days to run an evaluative research project with 5 users, if you can find a way to do it for free. So apply and take this job with care, and open eyes!

"Wait, they want me to do everything?" If you’ve ever looked at a UX job description and thought this, you’re not alone. UX careers usually fall into three main paths: 1. Design: This covers everything from mobile, web, and app design to newer areas like AI, VR, Visual Design, and Service Design. 2. Research: If you’re more into understanding user behavior and digging into data, you can dive into roles like User Researcher, Usability Testing, Accessibility, or Human Factors Specialist. 3. UX Strategy: It is all about aligning the user experience with business goals, and the roles include UX Strategist and Content Strategist. The reality is, that many UX job descriptions mix and match skills from all three areas. It’s important to recognize your strengths and interests and focus on what excites you most. You don’t have to fit neatly into one bucket. It’s about finding the right balance and growing in the direction that suits you. So, which path are you most drawn to? #ux #uxdesign #uxstrategy #userexperience

UX designer wanted: If you enjoy growing digital products, services and experiences that are beautiful, useful & meaningful: We’re hiring. You’re obsessed with better. Whether it manifests as a burning desire to remove that modal pop-up from your (otherwise) favorite web shop or sending evil glares at that stupid rejsekort-check-in-thing on your morning commute, your brain is hard-wired to sprout ideas that make experiences better. You breathe human-centricity and empathetic design (and know when and how it creates business value), but are also comfortable with activity-centered design and other modes of experience design. You’re likely a strong analytical thinker, able to crack complex puzzles and help turn vague objectives into defined problem-solving user stories. We imagine your professional toolbox is pretty well stocked for user research, testing and mapping. Mostly we’re hoping for a creative, curious thinker and a fiercely collaborative teammate. You’re eager to coax answers out of our clients they didn’t know they had, and help us solve user problems we barely knew existed. This is probably not your first rodeo: We’ll count on you to be the lead UX designer on most projects. Whether that requires 3, 5 or more years of experience, we’ll find out when we meet. If you’re less experienced, but super talented (and confident in your “here’s why I’m super talented” pitch), we’ve got open minds about it. On the flipside: If you’re an already accomplished UX leader still wanting to ship actual product work, we’ll be happy to chat. While there is not yet a UX team to lead, eventually there will be. Apply at join@thegardencph.com PS: Major bonus points for experience with complex B2B projects, commerce solutions and working in agile setups.

Is a UX Career Over? Yesterday, I saw data shared by a respected CEO of a tech company showing that the job ratio of UI/UX Designers has declined. I respectfully disagree. Now, let me break down whether a career in UX design is worth pursuing or not. My simple and short answer is YES! UX Designers are in high demand across the whole industry. With the rapid evolution of technology and new products emerging every day, hour, and even minute, the demand for UX design is significantly increasing. So, the simple question is, "Who is responsible for brainstorming new ideas and products?" The answer is UX Designers! There are many jobs under the title of UX Designer, such as UX Researcher, Interaction Designer, UI Designer, Visual Designer, Design Thinker, etc. So, I do not believe that job opportunities are declining in this field at all. What do you think? How do you see the industry?
