Join us in growing the SharePoint Authoring and Brand space We are looking for a Principal UX Researcher to join our larger UX Research team with a proven track record for delivering compelling user experiences that are usable, seamless, impactful, and deeply rooted in customer needs.
SharePoint is a powerful intranet platform that enables organizations to communicate, collaborate, and control their content. SharePoint empowers users to create an engaging and personalized intranet that reflects their brand and culture while connecting with other Microsoft 365 products to create a seamless digital workplace.
As a strategic partner and member of the product team your work will have a huge impact and reach, as SharePoint is used by more than 200,000 organizations and 190 million people worldwide. You will also have the chance to shape the future of SharePoint as the team embarks on the next evolution of the product, inspiring and enabling users to create modern and fully expressive sites, pages, and news. You will work closely with a talented team of designers, engineers, and product managers, while also being part the high-performing and well-established team, known for research excellence, collaboration, and our supportive culture.
The candidate is dedicated to putting the customers front and center while creating solutions to complex problems that, ultimately, empower our users to be more productive, efficient, and successful. This person should be knowledgeable and interested in the rapidly evolving AI space, while never forgetting the human side of the equation regarding responsible AI and building solutions that work for all people. Our diverse team of researchers and designers who work on a variety of products including, but not limited to Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Viva, and more, our team will provide an environment where you will thrive and grow professionally. This is an amazing opportunity to reach a large audience with your innovative and creative work as we develop this product. We approach our problem space with empathy for our customers, as well as drive to innovate and evolve the product.

Local mentoring rings and communities allow us to learn from each other and grow. We focus on having inclusive interactions that foster productive dialog. We are dedicated to the work of creating an inclusive, and transparent culture – a safe place to do our best work
We have a proven track record of delivering business results with key metrics to track our successes and failures. We are a truly hybrid work environment with much of our team in Washington state and across the USA and Prague. We also work closely with our partners in India, China and new teams in Atlanta and Vancouver, Canada. We like to have fun, celebrate our wins, and learn and grow from our mistakes.
We'd love to talk to you if you want to...
