At Viget, UX Researchers produce compelling insights and recommendations that result from rigorous analysis. Their findings improve clients’ products and users’ experiences. The ideal candidate embraces a mixed-methods mindset and is excited to work as part of collaborative, multidisciplinary teams to shape digital products and experiences.
