Cape Town, South Africa Peach Payments Full time

**Peach Payments**:
Our vision is to deliver delightful experiences for merchants and users, and be the payments partner of choice on the African continent. In everything we do, we strive to make it as easy as possible for merchants to focus on their business, while we take care of their payment needs. We work with the biggest enterprise businesses and the side-hustle next door, across every sector of the economy. We pride ourselves on delivering a world-class payments service with a seamless and secure checkout, enterprise-grade security and personalised multi-channel support to every business we partner with. We integrate easily with leading e-commerce platforms like WooCommerce, Wix, Shopify, Magento and Prestashop, and our modern API allows for custom integrations. We currently enable both enterprise and SME ecommerce in South Africa, Kenya and Mauritius, with rapid expansion to more countries on the continent planned.

**Why we’re hiring for this role**:
We’re looking for an experienced UX Researcher to build insightful and actionable information models that inform how we empower business owners and developers to start and scale their internet business with Peach across different regions of Africa. This role sits within the Design team at Peach working on multidisciplinary product teams, working with designers, product managers, and engineers.

The UX Researcher will create a research program where recommendations, relevant information, anecdotes, insights and stories will help our teams understand the problems they’re solving more deeply, bring them closer to the day-to-day realities and challenges of enabling online payment for businesses, and help them make better decisions more quickly.

As part of the research program, the UX Researcher will evangelize these insights and recommendations across the company to articulate a shared understanding of problem statements and the tactical opportunities to solve them.

Things we take seriously,
- Open and empathetic communication across the team and company. We value each other’s thought processes and have an open forum to collaborate cross-domain.
- You say what you do and do what you say. We’re all accountable to each other and our customers, we set expectations and meet them.
- Ownership of the work that we do. We don’t push tickets through, we thoughtfully problem solve pain points for our customers before, during and after code development.
- We document our approach to scale what we do, soliciting input from the team and ensuring no team member is left behind.
- We are continuously learning to build mastery and become domain experts at a worldwide level.
- We measure outcomes not outputs.

What you'll do:

- Join the Product Design at Peach and lead UX research for a multidisciplinary product team.
- You’ll define and communicate the research plan as part of a program of enlightening your team and the wider company on what problem we are solving for.
- You’ll work collaboratively with different teams at Peach to deeply understand customer experiences to clearly articulate problem statements and opportunities that will empower business owners and developers to enable and scale online payments with Peach.
- Create journey flows, wireframes, user interface mockups, click-through prototypes, long-form documentation, presentations and videos to effectively communicate the outcomes of your research.
- You’ll identify the interconnections of our product experience and prioritize the right project, scale, and scope at the right time and ensure speed of impact.
- Write specifications that document both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for our products for product managers, designers and engineers to implement.
- You'll bring empathy to your recommendations to find elegant but practical solutions that can reach diverse audiences across Africa. (international audiences, multi-language localization, accessibility, etc.)
- Be autonomous. You'll take full ownership of your work and you take responsibility for every detail each step of the way.

Who you are:

- You have at least 5 years of user experience design or human-computer interaction design.
- Expert-level knowledge of UX research practices with hands-on research.
- Excellent interaction design skills and a good visual design sense.
- You have cross-platform design experiences (Web, Android, iOS)

- High level of communication and storytelling skills — you are attuned to the audience and know how to craft a memorable, compelling story with their needs in mind.
- You have the ability to bring empathy into your designs and interactions.
- Experience using Figma as your design tool, we exclusivley use Figma.
