This is a 12 months fixed-term contract role.

What will you do?

We are seeking a mid to senior UX researcher to lead discovery and research on early-stage products taking form from concept to first release. The work spans citizen engagement interfaces and internal, officer-facing systems, and requires fluency across both generative research and service design. You will define the right problems to solve, generate and validate design hypotheses, and give delivery teams the evidence they need to build with confidence.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and run mixed-method research across the discovery lifecycle — generative interviews, contextual inquiry, concept and usability testing, and synthesis into actionable insight.
• Frame problem spaces and shape research questions for 0→1 products where the direction is not yet settled.
• Map service journeys, ecosystems, and touchpoints end-to-end, connecting front-stage user experience to back-stage systems and processes.
• Plan and facilitate workshops as needed — problem framing, ideation, prioritisation, and alignment sessions with teams and stakeholders.
• Translate findings into design hypotheses, opportunity areas, and prioritised recommendations that inform product and design decisions.
• Work directly with product, design, and engineering counterparts, and engage agency stakeholders and public officers as both research participants and collaborators.
• Communicate insight clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior stakeholders, through concise readouts and artefacts.

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in UX research, service design, or product research, with demonstrated 0→1 discovery experience.
• Strong command of qualitative methods and comfort with quantitative inputs where relevant.
• A portfolio showing service design work (e.g. journey maps, service blueprints) alongside research deliverables.
• Confident workshop facilitation with mixed groups.
• Ability to operate with ambiguity and structure your own research strategy with limited direction.
• Clear, concise communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred

• Experience with government, public sector, or other complex multi-stakeholder environments.
• Familiarity with accessibility and inclusive design considerations.
• Experience researching both external (citizen) and internal (staff/operator) users.

Benefits

What do we offer in return?

• Fun working environment
• Employee Wellness Program
• To work in Singapore Government Agencies projects
• We provide structured development framework and growth opportunities. (We are a “SHRI 2025 Gold winner” in “Learning & Development; Coaching & Mentoring”)
