Sr. UX Researcher – HealthTech Agency | Career Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Role Level & Market Positioning: "Senior UX Researcher" with 3–6 years of experience is a mid-to-senior band. In the Indian market, this is well-positioned for agency work. However, the salary benchmark for this level at top Indian product companies or global agencies can reach ₹18–28 LPA — the lack of disclosed compensation here is a yellow flag worth probing during interviews.
Skills You'll Build: This role offers strong exposure to enterprise and B2B research — a highly transferable and in-demand skill set globally. Specific growth areas include:
- End-to-end research ownership (not just execution)
- HealthTech domain expertise — a fast-growing, well-funded vertical
- Stakeholder management with US-based clients
- Research practice development and junior mentoring
Green Flags: Research insights are described as directly influencing products — a strong signal that research isn't siloed. The agency model also means exposure to multiple industries (healthcare, finance, automation), which accelerates skill diversification faster than a single-product company role.
Potential Red Flags: No salary transparency, and the "help shape our research practice as we scale" language suggests the research function may still be maturing — which can be energizing or frustrating depending on your preference for structure. Confirm team size and research infrastructure before committing.
Career Path: Strong stepping stone toward a Lead/Head of UX Research role, especially with the mentoring component and client-facing responsibilities included.
Headquarters: India
