Your mission

Purpose of the Position
You support us in making electric vehicle charging easier and more user-friendly. As part of our international EMP product team, you explore how customers use our offering, the challenges they encounter, and what we can improve.

Your Responsibilities

• You organize user interviews, surveys, and usability tests, including recruitment, scheduling, and materials.
• You contribute to interview guides, questionnaires, and test tasks and learn to design neutral, meaningful studies.
• You assist with interviews and tests, document observations, and take on smaller research tasks after onboarding.
• You test the app and prototypes in realistic scenarios such as finding chargers, registering, and charging.
• You analyze feedback from interviews, tests, and Customer Service and identify recurring needs and issues.
• You support survey and basic usage-data analysis with Product Design and Data Analytics.
• You present findings clearly in summaries, customer journeys, and product-team presentations.
• You maintain research documentation and make insights accessible across teams.
• You research user trends and comparable offerings and suggest further studies.
• You use approved AI tools for preparation and analysis and handle confidential and personal data carefully.

Your profile

• You are interested in how people use digital products and want to understand the needs behind their behavior.
• You have initial knowledge of qualitative or quantitative research methods, for example from coursework or university projects.
