Fundraise Up is building high-trust donation and fundraising experiences that help nonprofits grow their impact. We’re looking for a UX Researcher to join our Product Research Team and raise the quality, speed, and decision-making power of research across the product.

This role combines classic UX research and Product Discovery: new markets, segments, and product opportunities. You will work across both B2C and B2B contexts: donor-facing experiences (B2C) and nonprofit/org-facing workflows (B2B).

What You'll Do

  • Take a research initiative from the quarterly plan and run it end-to-end: intake brief → write methodology → conduct research → analyse → synthesize → present → push actions.
  • Choose the right method: interviews, usability tests, concept tests, surveys, desk research, competitive scans or others — based on uncertainty level, business goals, and timeline.
  • Set up the mechanics: access to tools/data, participant scheduling and confirmations, session logistics, note-taking, recording, and documentation — no hand-holding.
  • Be the cross-team “glue”: proactively collect hypotheses and context from Sales, Customer Success, Support, Marketing, Analytics, and turn them into testable research questions.
  • Stay close to product analytics: monitor dashboards and reports, work with analysts to spot anomalies/drop-offs, form hypotheses, and prioritize what to validate with research.
  • Produce outputs people can use immediately: key findings, decisions, trade-offs, risks, and clear recommendations, with supporting evidence (quotes, clips, metrics).
  • Keep an internal pulse: regularly review existing research, past studies, competitor insights, and synthesize what’s already known before running something new.
  • Be the user best friend: ensure user needs and constraints are represented in product decisions – not just opinions.
