UX Research Manager
About the role
The Freeman Company is building a consumer-grade digital shopping experience for trade show exhibitors — one that makes it simple and intuitive for them to plan, purchase, and manage what they need for every event. That means raising the bar on the digital experience: reducing friction, surfacing the right products and services at the right time, and giving exhibitors confidence that they have everything they need to show up and succeed. The User Experience Research Manager is critical to that mission.
This role will deliver the customer insights needed to prioritize the most impactful solutions across the exhibitor journey, discovering where exhibitors struggle, validating ideas before they are built, and measuring whether what we ship improves the experience. Because the digital experience exists to help exhibitors succeed at live events, this research must connect what exhibitors do online with what happens on the show floor, before, during, and after each event. The ideal candidate is a hands-on researcher with a proven track record of using qualitative and quantitative methods to shape complex, customer-facing digital products in an enterprise environment.
They should be comfortable operating across research strategy, discovery, usability testing, analytics, and executive communication. This role will partner closely with product, UX design, marketing, and merchandising to improve the end-to-end exhibitor experience. This position will sit within the Commerce product management team within Technology Services.
It is eligible to work a hybrid schedule, generally requiring work in-office 1-2 days per week. The ideal candidate will be based out of the following locations: Chicago, IL Dallas, TX Las Vegas, NV
