What this job asks for AI summary
A contract UX research role focused on AI-powered features within SharePoint, sitting within a cross-functional product team that includes designers, engineers, product managers, and data scientists. The work spans the full research lifecycle — from planning and executing usability studies and user interviews to designing surveys and analyzing behavioral data — with findings feeding directly into feature prioritization and product strategy. Best suited to someone with several years of both qualitative and quantitative research experience in enterprise software.

“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
The 'Top Required Skills' section states 2–4+ years for qualitative research, quantitative methods, and research tools; the 'expertise you bring' section states 4–6 years of overall UX research experience. The lower bound of 4 years is used for the overall years minimum, and 2 years is used as the years demanded on the individual skills per the 'Must Haves' framing.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a relevant field 'or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
Research tools (UserTesting, DScout, Qualtrics, Marvin) are listed as a single interchangeable requirement in the Must Haves section; UserTesting is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
This is a W2 contract role through 9/30/2026 with potential extension up to 18 months, placed by staffing firm Team Red Dog on behalf of an unnamed client (strongly implied to be Microsoft given the Redmond location and SharePoint/AI context).
The role is hybrid (1–2 days onsite per week in Redmond, WA), so remote is set to false.
Enterprise software and AI-powered SharePoint experience are called out as strong differentiators in the 'highly successful' section but are not listed as hard gates in the requirements block.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Survey Design.
SOC 15-1255 is "Web and Digital Interface Designers", but this role was labelled "User Experience Researchers and Designers" — the code and title disagree, so the occupation (and its BLS denominator) may be wrong.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
