Archana Vaidyanathan

Senior UX Researcher with 10+ years building mixed-methods research practices from the ground up - including as founding researcher at HOVER and leading privacy, risk, and compliance research at Meta. I turn ambiguous problems into rigorous, actionable research infrastructure, and I'm known for translating nuanced behavioral insights into strategic direction that executive teams act on. I'm looking for Senior or Staff UX Researcher roles, full-time or contract, ideally in mission-driven domains like health, education, financial empowerment, or civic tech. Remote only — that's a hard requirement for me.
