UX Research at Angi is embedded in a multidisciplinary team of designers, researchers, and content creators. We build experiences that span both sides of a two-sided marketplace — homeowners navigating big decisions and service professionals growing their businesses — across digital and in-person touchpoints.

We're in a meaningful growth period. This isn't a role focused solely on optimizing existing flows. We're building new product surfaces, exploring new experience models, and using research to identify opportunities we haven't yet named. If you're energized by working in ambiguous, early‑stage problem spaces and helping a team build from a strong point of view, this is a good team for you.

This is a rare opportunity to do two kinds of research that most roles force you to choose between.

On one side, you'll co‑define and execute blue‑sky and strategic discovery work alongside research leadership — exploring future‑state opportunities, emerging user needs, and experience spaces that don't have a roadmap item yet. This is generative, open‑ended work where the question is often as important as the answer, and where your instincts about what's worth exploring will matter as much as your ability to run a clean study.

On the other side, you'll own a portfolio of customer experience metrics programs — tracking how users feel and behave across key moments in the Angi journey, measuring the impact of product changes over time, and building the longitudinal understanding that keeps the team grounded in what's actually happening for customers.

Together, these two work streams give you something unusual: real influence at the front edge of product strategy, and the satisfaction of watching your research drive decisions you can measure. You'll report directly to the VP of Research — which means a short path to the conversations that matter and a genuine opportunity to shape how the research function evolves.

• Independently scope and execute research studies based on product decisions and risks — choosing methods that balance rigor and speed, and adjusting when conditions change
• Work across multiple data sources: qualitative interviews, usability sessions, concept tests, lightweight surveys, and secondary research
• Participate in and support generative and discovery research — concept testing, opportunity framing, early‑stage exploration — where the question isn't fully defined yet
• Synthesize across sessions to identify root causes and motivations, not just surface‑level patterns; produce insights grounded in repeated behavior, context, and meaning
• Connect insights to near‑term roadmap decisions and help partners understand user tradeoffs alongside business constraints
• Communicate findings clearly to product, design, and engineering partners — distilling complexity into what matters most and what to do about it
• Present to cross‑functional partners and occasional director‑level stakeholders with confidence and clarity
• Use AI tools to accelerate synthesis and research operations (tagging, clustering, transcription, repository management) while validating outputs for accuracy
• Contribute to team practice: share reusable frameworks, improve templates, mentor junior researchers on craft and process
• Build trusted relationships with product and design partners within your zone

• 4–6 years of UX research experience
