Our Company:

At Cerebral, we’re on a mission to improve access to high-quality mental health care. We believe that everyone everywhere deserves to get the care they need, and are striving to make care convenient and accessible, while tackling the stigmas that surround mental illness.

Since launching in January 2020, we have gone from a team of 5 to over 4,000 across the United States. With support from investors like SoftBank, Silver Lake, Access Industries, Bill Ackman, WestCap, and others, and impactful leaders like you, we’ll continue to democratize mental health care and double down on clinical quality and deliver exceptional patient outcomes for years to come. With a heavy focus on clinical quality and safety in all that we do, we’ve accomplished excellent patient outcomes:

• 82% of patients report an improvement in their anxiety symptoms after using Cerebral.
• 75% of patients who report improvement in their depression see improvement within 60 days.
• 50% of patients who initially report suicidal ideation no longer harbor suicidal thoughts after treatment with Cerebral.

This is just the beginning for Cerebral, and we won’t stop building, growing, and iterating until everyone, everywhere can access high-quality evidence-based mental health care without high costs and/or long wait times. We’re looking for mission-driven leaders who share these values, and we need your help as we transform access to high-quality mental health care in the United States and beyond.

The Role:

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior UX Researcher to join a growing UXR team. This Senior UX Researcher will be planning, designing and executing mixed methods of research studies. 

Who you are:

• Thoughtful, humble, and a strong collaborator.
• Driven by curiosity and comfortable with ambiguity.
• Stimulated by a fast-paced environment.
• Focused on quality - even when taking a scrappy approach.
• Comfortable building relationships with cross functional partners within, and across product areas.
• Confident planning, designing and executing mixed method research studies, both generative and evaluative.
• Self directed - able to manage and scope your own projects and identify what's next to help build the roadmap.
• Excellent storyteller - can craft stories that help deliver insights to decision makers.
• A great teacher - support others in conducting their own research and making holistic, strategic decisions

Bonus points if you have experience with:

• Service design / service blueprints / designing and facilitating workshops
• Startups, regulated industries and/or healthcare
• Both consumer and internal tools

How your skills and passion will come to life at Cerebral:

• Evangelize - Communicate and demonstrate why research is so valuable. Your cross functional partners sing your praises and look to you for guidance regularly.
• Define - Help define the UXR practice by establishing processes and frameworks. You love process, and bringing order to mess.
• Facilitate - Work with product managers, engineering, data science, and business analysts so that everyone is participating and collaborating. You are the glue that brings the team together to build an understanding of our users, and workshop and brainstorm paths forward.
• Educate - Share your knowledge with cross disciplinary partners to help scale quality research efforts across the organization. You believe everyone can participate in research activities.
• Build - Conduct and deliver research reports and artifacts (eg personas and journey maps) to create a user research repository. You’re a great storyteller and can distill complex information elegantly.
• Impact - Deliver work that helps inform product decisions and strategic direction. You not only help to answer the question “is it built right?” but “are we building the right thing?”.
