UX Research Intern - Tech at Catawiki

What you'll do

As a UX Research Intern, you’ll dive into a world of extraordinary objects and even more extraordinary users. You’ll help Catawiki understand how buyers experience the marketplace, from discovering items to returning for new auctions. You’ll support both qualitative and quantitative research and take part in the full research process: defining questions, choosing methods, recruitment, interviews, usability tests, analysis and sharing insights. Working closely with Product, Design, Engineering and Data, you’ll turn customer behaviour, motivations and pain points into concrete improvements that truly make an impact.
