Role & Responsibilities
The User Researcher is responsible for generating deep, psychology-backed insights into user behavior, motivations, and decision-making within fintech and digital financial products. The role focuses on applying behavioral science, cognitive psychology, and quantitative/qualitative research methods to uncover latent user needs and translate them into actionable inputs for design, product, and business strategy. The role ensures user-centric, evidence-based decision-making across the organization.
A - Minimum required Accountabilities for this role-
- Conduct in-depth moderated and unmoderated user interviews using psychological frameworks (e.g., Prospect Theory, Cognitive Dissonance, System 1 & 2) to uncover latent motivations, emotional drivers, and behavioral barriers.
- Design, deploy, and analyze quantitative research studies (surveys, questionnaires, experiments) grounded in validated psychological models such as Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Big Five Personality Traits, and Self-Determination Theory.
- Synthesize qualitative and quantitative data into actionable insights by identifying underlying cognitive and behavioral patterns (e.g., loss aversion, anchoring bias, trust erosion).
- Translate research findings into structured outputs such as personas, mental models, journey maps, and behavioral frameworks that predict user behavior.
- Test UI/UX prototypes through usability and concept validation studies using tools like Figma, Maze, and UserTesting, leveraging models such as Fogg’s Behavior Model.
- Own end-to-end research execution including study design, participant recruitment, psychometric segmentation, data analysis, and insight storytelling.
B - Additional Accountabilities pertaining to the role-
- Partner closely with design, product, and business teams to convert behavioral insights into bias-aware recommendations, nudges, and experience improvements.
- Monitor fintech and behavioral science trends (e.g., hyperbolic discounting, decision fatigue) through diary studies, ethnographic research, and secondary analysis.
- Support business KPIs such as conversion, engagement, retention, and trust through evidence-backed research inputs.
- Contribute to the development of internal research standards, methodologies, and best practices.

FigmaRole Overview:
As Product Designer at Marbles Health, you'll own the end-to-end design of our product experience from early strategy and user research through to final UI execution. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to influence not just how the product looks, but how it works and why.
This isn't a role for someone whose first instinct is only "I can make this look pretty."
Before you read further, a few honest questions:
A user's health data flow feels confusing. What's your first move?
❌ "I'll flag it to the PM and wait for direction."
✅ "I'll sit with the clinical logic until I understand why it's built this way, then propose what should change."
You're designing a screen explaining a brain-health metric to a non-technical user. Where do you start?
❌ "I'll make it look clean and modern."
✅ "I'll figure out what the user is actually afraid of or confused about, then design for that first."
How do you use Claude or ChatGPT in your work?
❌ "I use it for inspiration and copy."
✅ "I use it to pressure-test flows, generate variants fast, and get from a rough idea to a testable prototype in hours, not days."
What does ownership look like to you?
❌ "I hand off the Figma file and move to the next ticket."
✅ "I stay close to it post-launch - funnel data, session recordings, A/B results - because shipping isn't the finish line."
If the "yeah!" answers sound like you, keep reading.
What You'll Do
- Lead UX strategy for key product areas - translating user needs, business goals, and clinical/health considerations into clear design direction.
- Design end-to-end user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI for web and mobile experiences.
- Conduct and synthesize user research (interviews, usability testing, surveys) to validate design decisions.
- Build and maintain a scalable design system/component library in collaboration with engineering.
- Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineers from ideation through shipping — you're in the room for strategy, not just execution.
- Translate complex health information into simple, trustworthy, and accessible interfaces.
- Use data (funnel metrics, session recordings, A/B tests) to inform and iterate on designs post-launch.
- Present design rationale clearly to stakeholders, including non-design leadership.
What We're Looking For
- 2-5 years of experience as a Product Designer or UX/UI Designer, ideally in a consumer app, health tech, or fintech environment.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking (flows, research, problem-framing) and high-quality UI execution.
- Proficiency in Figma (or equivalent) and familiarity with prototyping tools.
- Experience designing for both web and mobile platforms.
- Comfort working with ambiguity - you can turn a loosely defined problem into a structured design process.
- Basic understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG), especially relevant in health products used by diverse populations.
- Strong communication skills, able to justify design decisions with reasoning, not just aesthetics.
- Bonus: prior experience in health tech, wellness, or a regulated/trust-sensitive consumer category.
Nice to Have
- Experience running or contributing to a formal design system.
- Familiarity with basic HTML/CSS (to collaborate more fluidly with engineering).
- Exposure to behavioral design principles (habit formation, nudges) relevant to health engagement.
- Motion design skills (micro-interactions, transitions, product animations).
- Experience creating print collaterals (brochures, packaging, in-clinic materials).
- An AI-forward mindset - curiosity about using AI tools in the design process and designing AI-native product experiences.
What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months
- Ownership of at least one major product flow, redesigned or shipped based on user research.
- A functioning or improved design system adopted across the product.
- Established a lightweight, repeatable UX research process for the team.
If you want real ownership in health tech and are ready to dig into complexity most people avoid, we'd love to see your work.
