My client is looking for an experienced UX Researcher / User Researcher who speaks fluent German for a 12 month contract, capable of leading end-to-end research initiatives across complex B2B products. This role requires strong research craft and exceptional stakeholder communication to influence at senior levels. It involves storytelling, alignment-building, and helping teams understand why research matters, not simply executing studies.

• Lead full research cycles from scoping through delivery: defining objectives, selecting appropriate methods, planning research, executing studies, and delivering actionable insights.
• Design robust research frameworks including methodologies, sampling strategies, documentation standards, and repeatable processes for long-term research maturity.
• Conduct professional-grade qualitative and quantitative research, including in-depth interviews, usability testing, surveys, analytics review, and mixed-method approaches.
• Explain the "why" behind research decisions—articulate the rationale for methods, prioritization, and insight direction, ensuring teams understand the strategic purpose of each study.
• Collaborate closely with senior stakeholders, aligning expectations, setting research roadmaps, and presenting insights in a persuasive, structured, and engaging manner.
• Champion user-centric thinking across the business, enabling teams to internalize insights and make evidence-based decisions.
• Mentor and guide cross-functional teams in research literacy, best practices, and user-centric methodologies.
• Translate research findings into clear, actionable recommendations for product strategy, UX design, and business decisions.
• Native or fluent German speaker, with the ability to conduct interviews, workshops, and stakeholder presentations in German.
• Currently based in Germany or willing to relocate.
• Proven experience in B2B product research—ideally within SaaS, enterprise, industrial, or other complex domains.
• Ability to execute research at scale, not limited to small convenience samples (e.g., friends, colleagues) or quick ad-hoc surveys.
• Experience with both qualitative and quantitative research, including professional-level interviewing, usability testing, survey design, analytics interpretation, or statistical analysis.
• Outstanding communication and soft skills—comfortable managing expectations, aligning teams, presenting outcomes, and advocating for users.

• Proven experience in B2B product research within SaaS, enterprise, industrial, or other complex domains.
• Ability to execute research at scale with professional methods.
• Strong ability to translate research into actionable recommendations for product strategy and design.
