About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead end-to-end delivery of on-site data collection projects supporting user studies (e.g., usability tests, in-context/field research, intercepts, diary studies with in-person components).

Coordinate on-site logistics: site readiness, staffing, equipment/materials, shipping, access/security requirements, participant flow, and contingency planning.
Manage and support project team members (internal staff, contractors, and vendors): set expectations, assign work, track deliverables, remove blockers, provide feedback, and ensure accountability.
Ensure data quality and compliance with study requirements (consent, privacy/PII handling, documentation standards).
Maintain rigorous project documentation and reporting (status reports, action logs, risk registers, budget trackers, timeline updates).
Identify risks early and drive mitigation (no-shows, site constraints, equipment failures, vendor delays), escalating with clear options and recommendations.
