About the Role: 

Maven is building a new direct-to-consumer business, and we're making decisions every week that should be informed by real user insight: how women think about GLP-1 care, what makes a virtual clinic feel trustworthy, where our funnel loses people and why. We are looking for a part-time user researcher to own research end to end for our consumer team.

This is a hands-on contract role for someone who can operate independently: you'll scope studies with product and design, recruit participants, run the research - either in-house or using a third party platform, and bring back insights the team actually uses. You'll also help us level up, shaping our tooling and research process as the team grows.

This is a part-time contract engagement of approximately 10-20 hours per week, for an initial 6-month term with intent to extend or expand for the right person. The role is fully remote and open to candidates anywhere in the US.

What You’ll Do:

  • Partner with product and design to identify the questions worth answering and scope research that answers them
  • Own the full study lifecycle: research plans, participant recruiting, moderation, analysis, and synthesis
  • Run both qualitative and quantitative work, from user interviews and usability sessions to surveys, choosing the right method for each question
  • Share insights in ways that travel: crisp readouts to the working team and digestible takeaways for the broader org
  • Help define our research tooling and process, recommending what we should adopt, drop, or change

What You’ll Bring: 

  • 5+ years of user research experience, including consumer products
  • True mixed-methods range: you've designed and fielded surveys with sound methodology and you're a skilled interviewer and moderator; you’re familiar with AI-augmented methods and tools.
  • A track record of running research end to end with minimal oversight, ideally as a contractor, consultant, or solo researcher
  • Strong synthesis and communication: you turn messy data into clear, decision-ready insights
  • Comfort in a fast-moving environment where research has to keep pace with weekly ship cycles
  • Experience in healthcare, tele-health, or another trust-sensitive consumer space is a plus
  • Experience researching subscription products or conversion funnels is a plus
  • Experience standing up research practices or tooling at an early-stage team is a plus

The hourly rate for this role is $90 - $120 per hour. Individual pay decisions are based on qualifications, experience, and skillset. This is a 1099 contract position and is not eligible for Maven employee benefits.

This role requires active work authorization in the US.

Maven embraces a flexible and inclusive work environment. This role is open to candidate in: AZ, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, and WI. Maven is committed to supporting remote team members with the tools and collaborative culture needed to thrive regardless of location. This policy reflects our belief that great work can happen anywhere and that flexibility enables our team to do their best work.

At Maven we believe that a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences enrich our teams and allow us to achieve above and beyond our goals. If you do not have experience in all of the areas detailed above, we hope that you will share your unique background with us in your application and how it can be additive to our teams.

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.
