Job Description

Qualitative Research Specialist

Hand Talk

• Lead high-impact qualitative research—both discovery and evaluative—working with Deaf users and broader communication stakeholders, including interpreters, hearing participants, accessibility leaders, prospective customers, and organizational decision-makers as needed. • Partner with other researchers, linguists, and sign-language data analysts to evolve shared research language, participant-validated research instruments, and systems that connect qualitative insights to measurement and long-term learning. • Design and moderate qualitative studies that prioritize ASL, are culturally fluent, and reflect Deaf users’ experience, language access, communication context, and community expectations. • Evolve video-based research protocols, improving consent practices, privacy, storage, retention, accessibility, participant rights, and ethical handling of recordings. • Ensure research methods and materials are culturally and linguistically accessible, accurately interpreted, and aligned with participants’ understanding and the study objectives. • Own the qualitative components of longitudinal follow-up, including diary studies, qualitative drivers of CSAT, and participant narratives over time. • Partner with other researchers to link qualitative insights to survey design, behavioral signals, reporting, and long-term equivalence goals. • Help maintain a healthy ASL user panel in partnership with Research Operations, including defining recruitment inputs, engagement practices, session standards, communication norms, reciprocity, and overall participant experience quality. • Engage with interpreter communities and subject-matter experts as needed, including establishing guidelines for when direct ASL sessions are appropriate and when interpreters, Certified Deaf Interpreters (CDIs), or expert reviewers are required. • Synthesize research into clear, actionable insights that help teams understand what matters now, what to expect, and what requires further validation. • Maintain research practices that are respectful, transparent, accessible, and meaningful for participants.

Job Requirements

  • Fluency in ASL and cultural humility.
  • Extensive qualitative research experience, including product and technology environments, and ideally experience in one or more of the following areas: accessibility, language, health, education, or community-centered contexts.
  • Bilingual in English and ASL, with proven ability to moderate research with Deaf participants.
  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for learning about AI, language technology, accessibility technology, and communication-access products. Prior experience with AI models is not required, but candidates should be excited about responsible innovation and comfortable with complexity.
  • Experience conducting research with Deaf communities, or equivalent depth of experience with other trust-sensitive, underrepresented, or culturally specific communities.
  • Strong qualitative study design skills across discovery, concept testing, usability research, evaluative research, and longitudinal qualitative methods.
  • Strong synthesis and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex qualitative inputs into frameworks, themes, recommendations, and clear decision guidance.
  • Experience conducting and managing video-based research.
  • Ability to work respectfully and effectively with Deaf users, hearing participants, interpreters, Certified Deaf Interpreters, subject-matter experts, community leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with Product, AI, and Go-to-Market teams to shape research scope and activate insights.
  • Ability to partner with quantitative and mixed-methods researchers to connect qualitative findings to measurement, tracking, survey design, and long-term evidence building.
  • Good judgment on when qualitative findings are strong enough to inform decisions and when further validation is needed.
  • Comfort working in ambiguity and helping to create new research practices where no defined playbook exists.
