You will support the Attract to Publish program of work, where we help scientists find and use scientific content they need to get on with their main tasks.

Product teams are focused on improving these experiences   and you will collaborate with them to deliver and guarantee an outstanding and innovative experience. Designers work mostly in embedded teams (Designers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Front End and Back End Developers, QAs). You will work both with teams and with domain-wide roles in Attract to Publish , supporting and leading the programme -level research activities. You will adapt your approach across different areas of the domain with similar or different user and business needs.

In collaboration with the Attract to Publish Leads and with the Head of UX Research and Research Manager you will have the opportunity to tackle and shape the UX user research strategy for Attract to Publish.

You will mentor and support less experienced researchers and designers in the Attract to Publish domain.

You’ll be supported by the Research Community daily.

• Work with UX Designers and product teams to translate teams’ questions into research activities when needed

• Collaborate with Market I ntelligence team and Analytics
