The Mission

At FLOX, we believe smarter farms lead to thriving chickens and healthier lives. Our mission is simple: healthier chickens benefit everyone. That’s why we built FLOX360, a system that uses Computer Vision, smart sensors, and real‑time insights to transform poultry farming. By helping farmers improve welfare and efficiency, FLOX360 creates a win‑win for birds, farmers, the environment, and people everywhere. Today, we’re watching 70 million chickens a year and are preparing for our Series A round. We believe we are setting the standard for animal welfare and smart farming - and we’re just getting started.

The role

We are seeking a Product User Researcher to work closely with our Senior Leadership Team in our London office. The role blends hands‑on product user research with process building and execution, supporting FLOX’s expansion into the US and early groundwork for additional international markets. This is a high‑context role for someone ambitious and perceptive, who thrives on learning quickly and operating close to decision‑making. You will move fluidly between research, stakeholder relationships, and targeted projects that directly influence company momentum at a critical stage. Working across multiple parts of the business, you will bring clarity to ambiguity and help advance key opportunities with precision. While not a formal operations role, a strong operational mindset will be essential. The growth trajectory is significant. This is a cross‑functional role where your work will directly shape product decisions, customer experiences, and business outcomes. As FLOX scales into the US and new markets, you’ll gain visibility into how research drives strategic priorities, from refining our product roadmap to informing commercial strategy and customer success.

What you’ll be doing:

• Plan, design, and execute qualitative and quantitative user research studies (including journey mapping, interviews, surveys, usability tests, field studies, contextual inquiry).
• Conduct user interviews and usability testing to uncover user needs, pain points, and behaviour patterns.
• Analyse research data & trends, synthesising Voice of Customer (VoC) insights into clear recommendations for feature prioritisation and the product roadmap.
• Create and maintain research artefacts such as personas, journey maps, and reports.
• Communicate findings and advocate for user‑centric decisions with cross‑functional teams.
• Collaborate with SLT, Operations and Engineering to integrate research into agile cycles that ultimately allows contract delivery i.e. input and manage parts of our PRDs.
• Help us establish and scale research practices, prioritising learning and rapid iteration.
