# Customer Experience Researcher at Moniepoint

- **Company:** Moniepoint
- **Location:** Lagos, Nigeria
- **Posted:** 2026-06-02
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-05
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/moniepoint/jobs/4880701101

## Job description

## About us

Ranked in 2024 by the Financial Times, Moniepoint is Africa’s fastest growing fintech, trusted by over 10 million business and individual accounts, processing billions of Naira’s in transactions monthly. Our mission is to enable financial happiness for every African, everywhere.

## About this role

The CX Researcher is responsible for conducting in-depth qualitative and mixed-methods research to uncover customer behaviours, motivations, needs, and pain points across Moniepoint's products and services. The role is embedded directly within a product org unit, working alongside product managers, engineers, and designers as a full member of the team. The CX Researcher translates rich customer insight into prioritized, actionable recommendations and advocates for the customer voice throughout the product development process. At the Senior Associate level, the CX Researcher independently manages complex research initiatives and may mentor junior team members.

## Responsibilities

- Research Design & Execution: Design and execute qualitative research methods including in-depth interviews (IDIs), usability testing, concept testing, ethnographic studies, diary studies, and focus groups. Lead the design and execution of complex, multi-method research projects with minimal supervision. Develop comprehensive research plans, discussion guides, screeners, and stimuli tailored to specific research questions. Recruit and manage participants for research studies, ensuring diverse and representative samples. Facilitate and moderate engaging research sessions, expertly eliciting deep insights from participants. Conduct continuous customer discovery as a standing practice — not only when studies are formally commissioned.
- Data Analysis & Synthesis: Analyse qualitative data using appropriate methodologies including thematic analysis, affinity mapping, and journey mapping. Synthesise findings from qualitative, quantitative, and behavioural data sources into clear, concise, and compelling outputs. Prioritise research findings using structured frameworks to distinguish critical unmet needs from performance gaps and opportunity areas. Identify key customer pain points, unmet needs, and opportunities for product improvement.
- Customer Satisfaction & Journey Ownership: Track and analyse customer satisfaction metrics for the product journeys owned by your org unit, identifying what is driving movement in either direction. Initiate timely root cause research when satisfaction signals indicate a problem — without waiting to be asked. Visit customer-facing touchpoints (e.g. support centres) regularly to observe real interactions and supplement digital research with field observation. Collect and synthesise feedback from commercial and relationship-facing teams in your geography.
- Insight Dissemination & Advocacy: Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, engineers, and other stakeholders to integrate research insights into product development processes. Communicate research findings and actionable recommendations effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences. Deliver all research output as structured, prioritised insight — not unprocessed data or narrative reports. Track the status of your recommendations — which have been acted on, which have been declined, and why — and follow up accordingly. Act as a passionate advocate for the customer, ensuring their perspective is understood and considered throughout the organization.
- Community of Practice & Team Contribution: Contribute to the continuous improvement of research processes, methodologies, and tools within the CX Research function. Mentor and provide guidance to junior team members, sharing best practices and fostering skill development. Participate actively in team knowledge sharing and contribute to building a strong research culture across the function.

## Experience & Background

- 4+ years of experience in customer research, UX research, or a related qualitative research role, with demonstrated ability to lead projects independently.
- Proven experience with a wide range of qualitative research methods and strong analytical skills for qualitative data.
- Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Design, or a related field.
- Master's degree in a relevant field (Preferred).
- Experience with mixed-methods research, combining qualitative and quantitative data (Preferred).
- Familiarity with financial technology (fintech) or banking products and services (Preferred).

## Skills & Competencies

- Excellent interviewing, moderation, and observation skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex research findings clearly and persuasively.
- Empathy, curiosity, and a passion for understanding people and their experiences.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, agile, embedded team environment.
- Experience with research tools such as UserTesting, Qualtrics, Dovetail, or similar platforms (Preferred).
- Familiarity with customer satisfaction measurement methods and continuous discovery models (Preferred).

What success looks like in this role

- Quality and depth of customer insights generated and shared with product teams.
- Positive movement in customer satisfaction metrics for the journeys owned by the researcher's org unit.
- High rate at which research recommendations are acted on by product teams.
- Consistency of customer contact — ongoing, not episodic.
- Timeliness and effectiveness of research project execution within agreed turnaround windows.
- Stakeholder satisfaction with research collaboration and insight quality
