About the Role  As a Sr. Design Researcher, you’ll help us transition to a working model that balances continuous discovery with publishable strategic research. In your role, you will support the cross‑functional team as they lead their own high‑quality discovery research. This will involve conducting research training workshops and guiding the creation and execution of the research.
In parallel, you’ll lead research work that brings our thought leadership to the forefront through published articles, white papers and conference presentations that spotlight our long‑shelf‑life strategic research which informs our product strategy and design roadmaps. Moreover, you’ll be a key partner in shaping how we use AI as a creative collaborator, not just a tool — helping us move faster and more intelligently.
This role requires a mindset that is not daunted by ambiguity or complexity. The evolving world of clinical trial design involves a wide variety of user profiles, multi‑step workflows that play out over long periods of time and an incredibly high bar for quality. Success also means carrying a deep awareness of the regulatory and ethical requirements that are not only considerations for our product design responsibilities but also for those who use our tools.
