About the Role

Brooklinen is looking for a Senior UX Research Contractor to lead critical research during the final phase of our strategic redesign project. This role will focus on validating new site experiences through usability testing and launch-readiness research, ensuring our redesigned site meets user needs and delivers a frictionless shopping experience ahead of our January 2026 launch.

This is a contract role, ideal for a seasoned researcher who thrives in fast-paced, pre-launch environments and can quickly translate findings into actionable design recommendations.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead mixed-method research across moderated and unmoderated usability testing, surveys, and benchmarking

  • Validate core site flows (homepage, PLPs, PDPs, navigation, checkout) to identify high-risk usability issues

  • Own research operations end-to-end, including participant recruiting, scheduling, and logistics

  • Synthesize findings into clear, executive-friendly deliverables such as:

    • Findings deck (success rates, conversion friction, navigation clarity)

    • Prioritized recommendations (critical → low)

    • Launch readiness scorecard and go/no-go assessment

  • Partner cross-functionally with design, product, brand, and engineering teams to ensure insights are integrated ahead of code freeze

What You Bring

  • 6+ years of UX research experience (in-house or agency); e-commerce/transactional platform background strongly preferred

  • Expertise in mixed methods: moderated/unmoderated usability testing, surveys, benchmarking (e.g., SUS, NPS)

  • Proven track record of turning research insights into business impact

  • Experience with research operations: recruiting, incentive management, and session logistics

  • Skilled at distilling complex findings into clear, actionable recommendations for cross-functional and executive audiences

  • Proficiency with tools such as UserTesting, Figma, Miro, Notion

  • Comfort working under tight timelines in a pre-launch environment

  • Application requirement: Please include a link to your portfolio (and password if applicable), with case studies highlighting usability testing, launch-readiness research, and/or e-commerce experience

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
