  • When assigned and appropriately supported, conduct focus groups or interviews while ensuring all participants are heard and the discussion remains on topic.
  • Protect confidential information related to research studies, participants, team members, and Bungie projects.
  • Attend scheduled shifts and meetings reliably, communicate in advance about conflicts, and incorporate feedback from researchers and program coordinators.

Qualifications

  • Coursework, project experience, or professional experience related to user research, qualitative research, research moderation, psychology, human-computer interaction, analytics, game design, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with research methodologies and qualitative research practices.

  • Ability to learn and apply a large amount of project information in a short period of time.
  • Demonstrated respect for confidentiality and sound judgment when handling sensitive information.
  • Ability to work onsite for in-person research sessions in the greater Seattle area.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in human-computer interaction, psychology, analytics, game design, or a related field.
  • One to two years of experience in research moderation, qualitative research, or a similar area.
  • Experience with coursework or personal projects related to user research.
  • Interest in or passion for games.
  • Experience facilitating discussions, interviews, focus groups, or playtests.

What You’ll Gain

  • On-the-job learning in research moderation, qualitative analysis, and study operations.
  • Exposure to different research methods and project types.
  • Opportunities to shadow experienced researchers during playtests and other studies.
  • Practical experience that can support future research, analytics, psychology, HCI, or games-industry opportunities.

Work Environment and Engagement Details

  • This role supports in-person research sessions and requires onsite availability in the greater Seattle area.
