UX Research Internship

UX Research Internship Start Date: September, 2026 Duration: 6 months We’re looking for the brightest talents to join our UX Research Internship. UX Research is about understanding people: how they think, what they're trying to do, and why they behave the way they do when using a product. At Blueground, that means studying how guests and partners actually experience our platform, finding where things break down, and making sure product decisions are based on real evidence rather than assumptions. As a UX Research Intern , you will receive top notch mentorship and equip yourself to start talking to real people, observing how they actually use our product, and turning what you learn into insights the team can act on. This is a role built around curiosity, rigour, and asking "why?" until you have a real answer. Throughout the program you'll: Work closely with product managers and designers so that research genuinely shapes decisions Collaborate with an experienced UX Research mentor who will guide you through modern research methodologies Observe and talk to real users to understand how they interact with the product — and the reasons behind their behaviour See your research evolve into a decision-making process that helps our product grow based on real human feedback Work across the full research lifecycle, from recruiting and scheduling participants to running studies, synthesizing findings, and presenting insights, using modern tools at each stage Internship timeline: Phase 1: Product immersion A structured introduction to our product. You will shadow our UX researcher, receive hands-on mentorship, and get familiar with the tools and methods used day-to-day. The goal is to understand how we work before you start doing.
