Hippo Digital is recruiting senior consultants in user research. User researchers design, plan and conduct research into what people need from a service and produce recommendations for user-centred service design. Working with designers, product owners, developers and other members of Agile teams, they also test services as they are being designed and use research evidence to help explain design decisions to clients.

Hippo will provide exciting opportunities to share your expertise with clients and team members, and to develop as a leader.
