You will facilitate research playback sessions and workshops to build shared understanding of user needs; advising teams and stakeholders on user-centred approaches and best practice.

Governance, Ethics and Quality
You must ensure research is conducted ethically, securely and in line with organisational and government policies; applying accessibility, inclusion and data protection standards (e.g. WCAG, GDPR). You will also contribute to the development and improvement of user research standards, tools and templates.
