I manage a team of 3 researchers. My task is to listen to the request of the product manger or CEO or head of department and offer him a right solution. I create a research roadmap, a cost estimate, and a working plan. I immerse researchers into the project, create frameworks, checklists, research scenarios, and requirements for results. I do a part of the research by myself, so that the researchers can take an example of quality and verify the quality of their work. I create a presentation or report and show it to the product team. My task is to solve business problems by research the user. I believe that ux researcher might be an advocate for customers. Ux researcher helps to make digital products valuable for both the product economy and the user.

When I joined the company, there weren’t any researchers there. But there were many product managers, analysts, and designers who had trouble verifying product hypotheses. I created a knowledge base in Notion, created the backlog of research tasks, and talked to the team to find out their request for ux research. My tasks were to formulate hypotheses, choose a research method for their verification, conduct a qualitative research by my own or with a team, and validate the results of the research using a quantitative method. I formulated the results of the research and presented them to the team. I believe that research should be a synergy of qualitative and quantitative methods. That’s why after a qualitative research, I usually study the analytics and comparing the matches between the ux issues and the bottlenecks in the product conversion.I immersed the team into research — I explained to designers, analysts and product managers how to research and why, what methods we can use and how they will help us. I also took team members with me to conduct interviews. I worked with stakeholders to implement UX into the culture of the company.

I created my own product, Mosbureau, which was supposed to digitalize tourist tours in Moscow. My team consisted of 15 people, most of which were couriers and guides. We created a site where LTV exceeded CPA by 10 times1. We found an unmet need: people had to visit the box office to went to Moscow museums2. I conducted 20 interviews and a poll for 600 potential users3. I gathered a team, showed them a business plan and research results that convinced the high potential of the product4. Together we created the MosBureau website, which helped people to visit museums without coming to the box office5. Signed an agreement with other travel aggregators6. I started looking for investors to scale up: we reached the figure of 300k net income per month, I held several presentations, after which my idea was taken by the team of the Moscow Department of Tourism
