Nourish is on a mission to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well. More than half of Americans have a chronic condition related to what they eat, and poor nutrition is the number one driver of preventable death. Health is the most important thing in the world, and yet our society is sicker than it has ever been due to unhealthy modern lifestyles. Nourish is addressing this healthcare crisis by helping people eat better, more easily, with our food-as-medicine platform. The Nourish mobile app provides a comprehensive approach to wellness through personalized visits with Registered Dietitians, health progress tracking, personalized content, meal logging, recipe/meal planning, AI chat, and more. We already have thousands of dietitians and hundreds of thousands of patients on the platform. Our patients span a wide range of nutrition-related conditions including diabetes, eating disorders, kidney disease, GI conditions, cancer, obesity/weight management, cardiovascular disease, and more. We are live in all 50 states. We are growing quickly, have partnered with national health insurance companies and provider groups, and have raised over $44M from top-tier VCs including Index Ventures, Thrive Capital, Maverick Ventures, Y Combinator, and Box Group, amongst others. Our angel investors include world-class healthcare founders from Oscar, Rightway Health, Headway, Spring Health, and Alto Pharmacy, as well as soccer star Alex Morgan and the founders from Olipop and Notion.

About The Role
We’re looking for a Staff User Researcher to lead strategic research across Nourish’s patient and provider ecosystems. You’ll uncover insights that guide product direction, improve clinical and patient experiences, and shape how nutrition care is delivered at scale. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who’s comfortable working autonomously on ambiguous, high-impact questions—equally strong at fieldwork and at influencing senior stakeholders. You’ll partner closely with design, product, and clinical leadership to ensure every decision is grounded in a deep understanding of both sides of our marketplace: patients seeking help and dietitians providing care. This person will join our small design team and report directly to our Head of Design. We care deeply about our work, but we try not to take ourselves too seriously. We believe that empathy, trust, and collaboration are what drive the best outcomes and that work can feel like play! This role is full-time in NYC (in-person candidates only), with flexibility for some remote work. Nourish has an NYC office in the heart of Silicon Alley. Check out ‘EPD at Nourish’ to learn more about our team!
Key Responsibilities
- Lead research strategy across patient, provider, and internal tooling experiences, defining the learning agenda that informs company-level priorities
- Conduct generative and evaluative research to explore user needs, motivations, and friction points across the full care journey, from onboarding through long-term engagement
- Shape product direction by translating research insights into clear, actionable opportunities for product, design, and clinical operations
- Develop frameworks and mental models that clarify how patients and dietitians interact, and where Nourish can deliver differentiated value
- Mentor and guide cross-functional partners (designers, PMs, and data analysts, clinical, marketing, PPM) on research best practices, helping to scale the research mindset across the org
- Partner with data science and clinical ops to triangulate qualitative and quantitative insights, surfacing patterns in behavior, retention, and outcomes
- Tell compelling stories that bring our constituents to life through artifacts, workshops, and strategic narratives that influence at the leadership level
- Champion an inclusive approach to research that represents diverse users and ensures accessibility and equity in the patient experience
Key Qualifications
- 8–12+ years of applied user research experience in high-growth product organizations (consumer, health tech, telehealth, or two-sided marketplaces strongly preferred)
- Mastery of core qualitative methods (interviews, field studies, concept testing, journey mapping, usability testing) and strong fluency with complementary quantitative methods
- Demonstrated success driving strategic impact—influencing product or business direction, not just validating existing ideas
- Experience researching service-oriented or clinical workflows, ideally in healthcare, wellness, or B2C/B2B2C contexts
- Exceptional communication and storytelling ability; you make insights tangible and drive alignment through clarity and empathy
- A track record of mentoring or coaching researchers or designers, elevating the overall craft bar
- Fluency in research tooling (Dovetail, Airtable, UserTesting, Maze, Amplitude, etc.)
- Graduate degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive Psychology, Anthropology, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
Nice to Have
- Experience working in a regulated or clinical domain, navigating privacy and compliance constraints with creativity
- Familiarity with insurance and healthcare systems in the US
- Comfort balancing speed and rigor in a startup environment
- Experience with remote, asynchronous collaboration
What Success Looks Like
- Research insights directly inform Nourish’s product roadmap and care model evolution
- Leadership looks to you as a thought partner for framing the big questions
- Product teams consistently rely on research to shape what they build and why
- The organization develops a shared, evidence-based understanding of its users: patients, providers, and internal stakeholders
- You help make “user understanding” part of Nourish’s DNA

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an User Researcher
Frame your portfolio for U.S. hiring managers
U.S. employers assess specialty occupation eligibility partly through your materials. Structure your case studies to show the degree-level theoretical grounding behind your methods, not just outputs. This directly supports the E-3 specialty occupation determination.
Target product companies over agencies first
In-house research roles at product-led companies are more likely to have dedicated HR teams familiar with E-3 sponsorship logistics. Agencies frequently decline sponsorship because project-based work complicates the Labor Condition Application employer-employee relationship.
Verify your degree equivalency before applying
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes, but confirm this with a credential evaluation early. Mismatches between your qualification and the posted job requirements are a common LCA complication.
Ask employers about LCA experience upfront
Before investing time in a hiring process, ask whether the company has filed a Labor Condition Application before. Employers new to the DOL's FLAG portal often underestimate the lead time, which can delay your start date by several weeks.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the offer stage
Once you have an offer, the LCA and DS-160 paperwork need to move quickly. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the full process from LCA certification through consulate preparation, so filing delays don't cost you the role.
Align your job title to DOL occupational classifications
The DOL uses Standard Occupational Classification codes to set prevailing wage levels. If your offer letter says 'UX Researcher' but the LCA uses a mismatched SOC code, it can trigger USCIS scrutiny. Confirm the title and SOC code match before signing.

Find User Researcher JobsUser Researcher E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find User Researcher jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to filter User Researcher roles by employers with active E-3 and LCA filing history. Most general job boards don't surface sponsorship eligibility, so you can spend weeks pursuing roles where sponsorship was never on the table. Migrate Mate filters that out before you apply.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does User Researcher qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
Yes. User Researcher roles typically qualify when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, information science, or a directly related field. The key is that the specific degree must be a standard minimum requirement for the role, not just a preference. Job postings that say 'degree preferred' rather than 'required' can complicate the LCA.
How does the E-3 visa compare to H-1B for User Researcher roles?
The E-3 is available year-round with no lottery and no annual cap, while H-1B registration opens once a year with a roughly 25% selection rate. For User Researchers, that means an E-3 offer can move from signed contract to visa appointment within weeks rather than waiting up to a year for an H-1B start date. The trade-off is that E-3 is exclusively for Australian citizens.
Can I switch User Researcher employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you need to restart the E-3 process with the new employer. Your new employer files a fresh LCA with the DOL, and you'll need a new visa stamp if yours was tied to your previous employer's petition. There's no portability mechanism like some other visa categories, so plan for a gap between roles if consulate appointment wait times are long.
