UX Researcher - German speaking

Creative 📍 Amsterdam

In a nutshell

As our UX researcher, you will work collaboratively with Data Analysts, Product Owners, and Designers to develop the full user experience of Picnic’s products. Your mission will be to connect with our German customers, making sure we provide them with the best possible experience. With an open personality, you’re able to empathize with end-users on a weekly basis, whether that’s by guiding users through early concepts and prototypes or exploring completely new problems and opportunities.

Half of the week, you initiate, plan and execute hands-on research activities. The other half is used to observe and analyse user behaviour and communicate those insights effectively to various teams and stakeholders. You conduct research using a mix of both quantitative and qualitative methods to answer our most important questions. How can we help German families to plan, order and cook healthy meals? How can we reduce cognitive load while ordering your weekly groceries? How can we assure German customers of our high quality of fresh products, and good value through low prices and great offers? Every week presents new challenges to explore, frame and evaluate. Understanding both the big picture and the details, you examine insights from unique angles to bring a deeper understanding of customer experience and provide testable hypotheses. Ultimately, you make impact by continuously making sure we build the best possible product for our customers.
