Job Description
Why we’re searching for a Staff User Researcher.
At Wealthfront, we’re on a mission to build a financial system that favors people, not institutions. Achieving this monumental mission requires us to deeply understand our current and future clients, as they save and invest with us. Financial technology involves some of the most complex research questions in our field, pertaining to areas like trust, motivation, and elaborate decision-making processes. This is why we’re looking for an incredible researcher to join us!
What do we offer you?
Research is at the heart of all Wealthfront’s client-facing initiatives—our product process centers continuous learning enabled by research. Researchers have the responsibility of being leaders within their areas, co-owners of the team’s strategy, roadmap and execution. We’re looking for a Staff User Researcher who craves this responsibility, who wants to use their research tool kit to achieve new levels of impact as an individual contributor and as a member of the cross-functional team responsible for investing products at Wealthfront.
As a Staff User Researcher at Wealthfront, you’ll immediately take on meaningful, client-facing research projects that will have a lasting impact on the product experience and our business. You’ll have end-to-end ownership of the research process, from designing studies to delivering insights, all while collaborating with other researchers and cross-functionally with best-in-class product managers, designers, content strategists and more. And, you’ll join a talented team of Wealthfront researchers working across all our products and services, ensuring you’ll have easy access to their accumulated knowledge and experience. Finally, you’ll be a member of both the Product and Design organizations, offering you a perspective on everything we create and insight into the most important decisions affecting business growth.
