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 TN Visa Sponsorship as an User Researcher
Align your degree to the role explicitly
TN officers look for a direct connection between your degree field and the User Researcher title. A psychology, cognitive science, or human-computer interaction degree maps cleanly. An unrelated field, even with years of UX experience, creates unnecessary friction at the border.
Target employers with established UX research teams
Companies with dedicated UX research functions already understand what the role entails and can write a precise support letter. Organizations where User Researcher is a new function may struggle to articulate the specialty occupation case your TN filing needs.
Require a specific employer support letter
Your employer's letter must name your exact job title, your degree field, and why the role requires that background. A generic offer letter gets flagged. Clear language demonstrating how your degree directly connects to the role's professional requirements strengthens the document significantly.
Search TN-sponsored roles through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter User Researcher openings by employers with recent visa filings. Targeting companies experienced with visa sponsorship removes a major variable from your job search and shortens the path to TN approval at the border or consulate.
Prepare for port-of-entry review as a Canadian
Canadian citizens apply directly at the border, so you present your documents in real time to a CBP officer. Bring your degree credentials, the employer support letter, and your offer documentation in a single organized packet rather than relying on verbal explanations.
Understand Mexican citizens need consular processing
If you hold Mexican citizenship, you'll schedule a visa interview at a U.S. consulate rather than self-petitioning at the border. Factor consular appointment wait times into your start date negotiation with your employer so your timeline stays realistic.

Find User Researcher JobsUser Researcher TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a User Researcher role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, User Researcher roles can qualify under the USMCA's Social Science professional category when the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as psychology, cognitive science, human factors, or a related discipline. The key is demonstrating that the role demands that specific educational background, not just any degree. A CBP officer or consular officer will assess whether your credentials and the job's requirements align.
How does the TN visa compare to the H-1B for User Researcher positions?
The TN visa has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can apply any time you have a job offer rather than waiting for a registration window each spring. H-1B selection is limited and lottery-based, which means qualified User Researchers are routinely unselected. Mexican citizens face a TN annual allocation, but the process still avoids the random lottery. TN status also renews in three-year increments with your employer's continued support.
Where can I find User Researcher jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search User Researcher openings filtered by employers who have a history of sponsoring TN visas. This matters because many job postings do not specify visa sponsorship availability, and targeting employers who have navigated the TN process before reduces the back-and-forth during offer negotiations. Starting your search with sponsorship history as a filter saves significant time.
What documents does a User Researcher need for a TN visa application?
You'll need a detailed employer support letter naming your job title, your specific duties, and why a degree in your field is required for the role. You'll also need proof of your degree, such as a diploma or official transcripts, and a valid passport. Canadian citizens present these directly to a CBP officer at the port of entry. Mexican citizens submit them as part of the consular visa application process.
Can I switch User Researcher employers while on TN status?
Yes, but you need a new TN authorization tied to the new employer before you start working there. Your TN status is employer-specific, so your current authorization does not transfer automatically. Canadian citizens can obtain a new TN at the port of entry when changing jobs. Mexican citizens need to return to a U.S. consulate or, in some cases, file for a change of status with USCIS while remaining in the country.
