We are seeking a UI and UX Designer and Researcher who can apply principles of clinical psychology to deepen user understanding and enhance digital experiences. This role blends behavioural science with user-centered design to drive empathetic, evidence-based decision-making across product development.

Key Responsibilities

• Apply clinical psychology frameworks—such as cognitive load theory, behavioural conditioning, and emotional regulation—to inform UX strategy and design decisions.
• Translate psychological insights into actionable design recommendations that promote user trust, reduce friction, and support mental wellness.
• Conduct mixed-method user research including interviews, surveys, usability testing, and analytics analysis.
• Identify behavioural patterns, cognitive biases, and emotional triggers that influence user interaction and decision-making.
• Employ user-centered design methodologies with a focus on empathy, iterative testing, and psychological safety.
• Develop and implement strategies to document user needs, pain points, and expectations—grounded in both qualitative feedback and psychological theory.
• Design and maintain user personas, journey maps, and experience trackers that incorporate psychological profiles and motivational drivers.
• Use these tools to visualize and communicate user insights across teams.
• Communicate and collaborate with designers, developers, product managers, and stakeholders to embed psychological principles into every stage of the development lifecycle.
• Advocate your findings and proof of research to all stakeholders.
• Conduct heuristic evaluations and cognitive walkthroughs to assess interface design, user flow, and mental workload.
• Recommend design adjustments that align with psychological best practices and usability standards.
• Contribute to a culture of experimentation and learning by integrating new psychological models and research methods.
