About The Role
We have 100 million people who have made a song. We know far less than we should about which of them will pay us, what they'd pay for, and what makes someone decide that a subscription is worth keeping.
We're looking for a Senior Mixed Methods UX Researcher in New York to own that problem. This role is quant-leaning by design. You'll be the methodological depth on our team for survey science and measurement: choice-based conjoint, MaxDiff, price sensitivity, monadic and sequential monadic concept testing, driver analysis, and the longitudinal trackers that tell us whether the user experience is actually getting better over time. You'll also run qualitative work when the question needs depth rather than scale, and you'll know the difference.
Your closest partners will be the PMs and leads working on growth, monetization, and subscription revenue. These are people making pricing, packaging, and conversion decisions on a weekly cadence, and they need measurement that can keep up.
This is a hire for depth we don't have, not for extra hands. You'll be the person who decides what a question can and cannot support, and who says so when a stakeholder wants a number the design can't give them.
What You'll Do
Own survey methodology as a craft - Design and run advanced quantitative studies end to end: conjoint, MaxDiff and TURF, price sensitivity, monadic testing, segmentation, driver and key-driver analysis. Own sampling, quotas, logic, bias mitigation, weighting, and the analysis that follows.
Make pricing and packaging decisions defensible - Partner directly with the PMs and leads owning subscription revenue to turn packaging, tier, and pricing questions into studies that produce an answer they can act on, with honest confidence intervals attached.
Build and evolve our longitudinal measurement systems - Extend our always-on measurement program: satisfaction and sentiment trackers, product health composites, perception scales, and the reporting cadence that puts them in front of leadership every month. Make the trends trustworthy enough that people change plans because of them.
Explain conversion, retention, and churn - Combine attitudinal data with behavioral data in Snowflake to answer why people convert, why they cancel, and what would bring them back. Work with data science as a peer, not a requester.
Own the measurement layer of segmentation - Turn behavioral clusters into segments with attitudinal meaning: what each group is trying to do, what they value, and what they'll pay for. Keep those segments alive and validated rather than one-off.
Lead qualitative work when depth beats scale - Run interviews, diary studies, and concept work to define the right constructs before you measure them, and to explain the findings the numbers can't.
Advise on method selection across the org - Act as the internal consultant on when a question needs qual, quant, an experiment, or nothing at all. Push back on studies that won't change a decision.
Communicate so it lands - Turn multi-source data into a clear narrative with a recommendation. Dashboards and decks are the delivery mechanism, not the output.
Who You Are
5+ years conducting quantitative research in a product environment, with real qualitative range alongside it
Degree in Statistics, Behavioral Science, Psychology, Sociology, HCI, Economics, or a related quantitative field
Genuine depth in the end-to-end survey process: construct definition, instrument design, logic and branching, quotas, bias mitigation, weighting, and analysis
Hands-on experience with advanced survey methodologies, specifically choice-based conjoint, MaxDiff, TURF, price sensitivity methods, and monadic or sequential monadic testing. Not "familiar with," but studies you designed and defended
Experience building longitudinal measurement frameworks: trackers, benchmarks, perception scales, composite health metrics
Comfortable in SQL and in Python or R for analysis, and able to work directly against a warehouse rather than waiting on a pull
Fluent in the statistics that come up in practice: regression, ANOVA, hypothesis testing, and knowing when your sample can't carry the claim
Proficient in qualitative methods, and clear-eyed about when the right answer is twelve interviews rather than a survey
Strong product sense and an outcome-centric mindset. You bring structure to questions that arrive vague
Persuasive with senior stakeholders, including when the finding is not what they hoped for
Self-directed with a high tolerance for ambiguity and speed. We have a research team, but everyone here works with the autonomy of a solo researcher at a startup
Excited by consumer products, creativity, music, and AI
What You'll Need
Advanced degree with methodological training, combined with industry experience
Experience in subscription consumer businesses, especially on pricing, packaging, conversion, retention, or win-back
Experience with survey platforms and conjoint tooling (Conjointly, Sawtooth, Qualtrics, Sprig, or similar)
Experience with causal inference and experimentation, including covariate adjustment, and comfort reading an A/B readout critically
Experience standing up measurement infrastructure somewhere it didn't exist
Background in consumer audio, music, or social products
Experience researching AI and generative products, where user mental models are still forming
Bonus points if you've used Suno to make music
Additional Notes
You must be authorized to work in the United States
You must be willing to work 5 days per week at our New York City office

UX Research Intern Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ux research intern in New York?
UX research internships in New York do not require a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and portfolio rather than credentialing. Most candidates are enrolled in or recently graduated from programs in human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, information science, or a related discipline at universities such as NYU, Pratt, or Cornell Tech. Building a case study portfolio that documents a research process from recruiting participants through synthesizing findings is the clearest differentiator when applying to New York employers.
Which companies hire ux research interns in New York?
Companies currently hiring ux research interns in New York include Hinge, Collabera, and Meta, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's concentration of consumer-facing tech companies, financial services firms, and media organizations means internship programs here often emphasize mixed-methods research tied directly to product teams.
Which New York cities have the most ux research intern jobs?
New York account for the largest share of ux research intern openings in New York. New York City dominates because it hosts the U.S. headquarters or major offices of the tech platforms, media companies, and financial institutions that run the most structured internship programs, while Brooklyn's growing product and startup scene and Albany's civic technology sector generate openings outside the Manhattan core.
Are there remote ux research intern jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields, because UX research work centers on facilitating interviews, synthesizing notes, and presenting findings digitally rather than requiring a fixed physical location. About 67% of ux research intern openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the role's desk-based and collaboration-tool-driven nature. Moderated usability sessions and stakeholder read-outs are the tasks most commonly conducted fully remotely.
How can I get hired as a ux research intern in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to structured summer internship programs at New York's large consumer tech and media employers, many of which explicitly recruit students without prior industry experience. NYU's Tandon School of Engineering and Cornell Tech both maintain connections to New York employers that offer early-career research roles. Candidates without formal experience often come from adjacent positions such as psychology research assistant, library UX volunteer, or customer insights analyst, and a two- or three-study portfolio carries more weight than a work history in many New York recruiting processes.
Where can I find and apply to ux research intern jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to ux research intern jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current New York openings updated regularly. Find a role that fits and apply directly through the listing without needing to create a profile or navigate off-platform.
