Senior Product Manager

🤠 About User Interviews

At User Interviews, we believe that the best companies in the world consistently deliver products and experiences that their customers love. We also believe that the only way to consistently build those products and experiences is to talk to your customers. Watch what they do. Understand why they do what they do. Figure out why they do things that seem irrational. And once you’ve done that once, do it again. Start having continuous customer conversations. In short, make customers your #1 priority through user research.

That’s why we exist. We help teams set up those conversations, that research, allowing them to discover and embrace user insights. We work with hundreds of companies every month, including user-centric organizations like Atlassian, Amazon, and Spotify.

We build products for and welcome participants, researchers, and employees from a diverse set of backgrounds.
