This is a remote, US-based contractor role averaging 15–20 hours weekly.

If you’re ready to uplift others, challenge your ego, commit to the truth, and be better than yesterday – keep reading.
Seer is a remote first agency and Certified B-Corp with team members working across the country. If an office environment is more your style, this position can also sit in our HQ office, Philadelphia. We can only consider candidates based in the US who are able to work continental US based hours.
The Role: As a UX Researcher Contractor at Seer, you'll partner with our Sr. UX Lead and Sr. UX Strategist on the Creative Services team to shape user experiences across a diverse range of digital projects. You'll lead both evaluative and generative research, with a focus on usability testing and in-depth interviews, and turn what real people do and say into insights that guide UX strategy and design decisions. You're quick to pick up patterns, patient enough to identify long-term trends, and you own research studies end-to-end, from setup to readout. For the right person, there's strong potential for this role to evolve into a part-time or full-time position. Until then, we are looking for about 15-20 hours a week.
