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 Researcher Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ux researcher in New York?
There is no state-issued license required to work as a ux researcher in New York. Most employers expect a bachelor's or master's degree in human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, information science, or a closely related field, combined with a portfolio of research projects. New York City's concentration of tech companies, financial institutions, and healthcare systems means that graduate programs at schools like NYU, Columbia, and Pratt regularly place graduates directly into research roles.
Which companies hire ux researchers in New York?
Employers hiring ux researchers in New York right now include Hinge, Meta, and suno, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's density of financial services firms, large media companies, and enterprise technology organizations means research roles here tend to focus on complex, high-stakes digital products.
Which New York cities have the most ux researcher jobs?
The cities with the most ux researcher openings in New York are New York. New York City dominates because it is home to the headquarters and major offices of tech, finance, and media companies that run dedicated research teams, while smaller markets reflect demand from healthcare systems, state agencies, and regional employers with growing digital product practices.
Are there remote ux researcher jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 88% of ux researcher openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work, including interviews, synthesis, and stakeholder presentations, translates well to distributed teams. Discovery research and survey-based work tend to be the most fully remote, while in-person usability lab sessions and stakeholder workshops are more likely to require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a ux researcher in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior or associate researcher role at a mid-size New York tech company or agency, where teams are small enough to give newcomers hands-on project work. Large employers like IBM and Publicis Sapient run internship and rotational programs that hire candidates without professional experience. Adjacent roles in customer insights, data analysis, or UX writing at New York media and financial firms also serve as common lateral entry points. A strong portfolio of academic or self-directed projects is the credential that matters most in the absence of full-time experience.
Where can I find and apply to ux researcher jobs in New York?
