UX Researcher II

New York, New York

Overview

At Brooklinen, we believe that comfort creates happiness — and that starts with truly understanding our customers. We’re looking for a thoughtful, curious, and collaborative UX Researcher II to help our Product Design team make better, faster, and more customer-informed decisions.

In this role, you’ll execute and support research that brings the voice of the customer into product development and experience design. You’ll report to our Director of Product Design and partner closely with Product Design, Product Management, Engineering, and Brand to help shape digital experiences that feel intuitive, seamless, and grounded in how our customers actually shop and live.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a strong foundation in UX research who is excited to grow their craft, contribute to meaningful work, and develop into a more strategic research partner over time.

What You’ll Do

Research Execution

  • Execute moderated and unmoderated UX research studies, including usability testing, interviews, and surveys
  • Develop research materials such as discussion guides, surveys, and usability test plans
  • Help validate concepts, flows, and experience improvements before development

Research Planning & Synthesis

Customer Understanding & Impact

  • Contribute to research across key digital customer journeys (e.g., navigation, PDPs, cart, checkout, search), in close partnership with Product and Design
  • Help the team better understand not just how customers shop, but how they make decisions in the context of their everyday lives
  • Balance rigor with speed, delivering thoughtful insights in a fast-paced environment

What Success Looks Like

  • Independently execute research studies end-to-end with strong attention to detail and quality
  • Build strong working relationships with Product Design, Product, and Engineering, and become a trusted partner in bringing the customer perspective into decisions
  • Deliver research findings that are consistently clear, actionable, and easy for stakeholders to apply
  • Contribute to faster, more confident product decisions by balancing rigor with speed
  • Demonstrate strong judgment in selecting appropriate research methods with guidance, and continue to grow your craft over time
  • Help improve key moments across the digital experience, supporting a more seamless and intuitive customer journey
  • Actively seek feedback and continue building your ability to connect customer insight to business impact
  • Help the team create experiences that feel intuitive and relevant to how our customers want their homes to feel

We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in UX research, product research, market research, or a related applied research setting
  • Experience executing moderated and unmoderated research from study setup through synthesis
  • Familiarity with core research methods such as usability testing, interviews, surveys, and concept testing
  • Ability to translate research findings into clear, actionable recommendations
  • Experience working with common UX research and analytics tools (e.g., UserTesting, Maze, Dovetail, Google Analytics)
  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong curiosity, attention to detail, and a growth mindset

Nice to Have

  • Experience researching eCommerce or other high-traffic digital experiences
  • Familiarity with behavioral analytics and interest in connecting qualitative insights with performance data
  • Experience supporting research across customer journeys such as navigation, PDPs, cart, checkout, or search
  • Comfort working through ambiguity and managing multiple priorities
  • Interest in leveraging AI tools to improve research efficiency
  • Familiarity with Figma and collaboration tools to support research execution and communication

Compensation

Base salary range: $85,000–$135,000, plus equity.

Form CC-305

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.
