The Microsoft Viva Suite was launched two years ago to address the fundamental shift in how people work, build their career, and find meaning in their workplace. Employee engagement is in flux during times of economic, demographic, and societal changes. People want to be excited about their work, be connected to their company culture, understand how to succeed, and feel supported in their careers. The broader Viva product family is dedicated to examining the employee journey and delivering software and services to make it better.   

The Viva Studios team is looking for a Senior UX Researcher who can drive human-centered strategy and product direction by translating human behaviors, attitudes, practices, and norms into actionable insights. In this role, you will leverage your skills as a mixed methods researcher to guide near and long-term product experience investments. We’re looking for someone who can move between exploratory research to evaluations of early prototypes to building out robust benchmarks. You will work closely with UX designers, product managers, other user researchers, data science, and engineering to ensure that we are addressing the critical user needs and opportunities.    

We are especially enthusiastic about people who want to learn, grow, and embody new ways of working. If you embrace growth mindset, have a record of accomplishment of delivering results, and you light up collaborating with other researchers, designers, product managers and engineers, please apply.   

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
