Senior UX Researcher

Reinvent finance with Reap. We’re building the design foundation for the next generation of global finance. As our first UX Researcher, you’ll establish research as a core craft at Reap—shaping how insights guide everything we ship, from corporate cards and expense tools to API dashboards and AI-driven workflows. You’ll set the standards, build the playbook, and pioneer how insights scale through AI. Join a high-energy team reshaping how businesses move money globally.

Design at Reap

At Reap, we believe design is more than what we create—it’s what we make possible. Reap is pioneering financial infrastructure powered by stablecoins, and we’re on a mission to transform how businesses move money globally. Our design team plays a critical role in this journey: bringing clarity to complex workflows, uncovering possibilities through user insights, and crafting experiences that feel both intuitive and extraordinary.

We also believe in the power of fresh perspectives. We want people who bring something new—individuals who challenge the status quo, bring diverse ways of thinking, and contribute to the cultural and creative spirit of our company.

What you’ll do

Leading UX Research at Reap

As our Senior UX Researcher, you’ll be the most senior specialist in this discipline. You’ll create the frameworks, standards, and tools that enable research to thrive—not just within your own projects, but across the entire product organisation.

Your work will scale through AI-assisted research models, transforming research into a force-multiplier—unlocking insight and impact across the organisation. You’ll help every Product Designer grow their research literacy—embedding user insight into how we design and ship.

Responsibilities

• Set the standard for research at Reap—defining SOPs, processes, and templates (e.g. FigJam research frameworks, interview guides, usability testing protocols).
• Conduct end-to-end research—from generative discovery to evaluative testing—across multiple product areas and business lines.
• Build scalable training and resources—workshops, playbooks, and office hours—to raise research maturity across the Design team.
• Leverage AI to extend reach—train and tune AI models that help designers run and synthesise lightweight research at scale.
• Work cross-functionally—partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing to ensure insights shape both product and brand decisions.
• Champion the voice of the customer—bring clarity to complex financial workflows and uncover opportunities for innovation.
• Continuously evolve our research practice—embracing new tools and methods that make insights faster, more rigorous, and more actionable.
