We are looking for a highly capable, product-minded UX Researcher to ensure these AI-powered products are not only built, but understood, trusted, adopted, and embedded into real workflows.

It sits at the intersection of: UX research Product and service design AI experience design Adoption and rollout strategy You will play a critical role in translating complex AI capabilities into usable, trusted, and operational products that drive measurable impact across the firm and with clients. The Mission Ensure Unity’s AI products move successfully from: Idea → Usable → Adopted → Embedded This role owns the human success layer of the platform.
