As a Senior Experience Design (XD) Researcher, you will work in a human-centered design model to build an outstanding journey through every part of a guest's experience, from the time our guests dream of travel until their stay is complete and beyond.

  • Support multi-functional teams who work in a human-centered design model, focusing on the customer and providing feedback that will aid the business, UX, design, and other groups in creating optimized products
  • Work with product teams to understand needs and requirements
  • Design customer-appropriate qualitative research study scripts/questionnaires
  • Apply knowledge of research techniques to advise study design, scriptwriting, etc.
  • Analyze feedback and summarize findings for the team
  • Work with the rest of the Experience Design team to ensure research findings are shared and incorporated into other initiatives
