Job: MSN Search Program Manager at Microsoft

Redmond, WA: MSN Search Program Manager at Microsoft

Program Manager -- User Interface Analytics: Help design the search
experience of the future through quantitative research! Tackle terabytes of
data every week to assess user satisfaction, system performance, and
improve the Search team’s understanding of their customers. The ideal
candidate eats stats for breakfast, and has a burning desire to decrypt
user behavior trails to improve products. You will work closely with the
product team and designers to make decisions about what experiences to
build. Strong communication skills and ability to analyze and present study
results is a must.

This person will help define and craft the experimental design and
methodology of the a/b testing platform, lead data mining activities, and
measurement of customer satisfaction. This role is heavily involved in user
research, UI design, and UI validation at scale through split testing. A
strong background in research methods and statistics is essential, from
computer science, cognitive science, or related field.

You will also serve as a mentor to others on the team for performing
statistical analysis. This position also has the opportunity to work
closely with Microsoft Research to extract actionable interpretations from
inherently ambiguous but hugely scaled user data.

Experience with analyzing logs of user behavior and using tools for large
text file processing is a must. Familiarity with reporting systems and
database expertise is a plus. Come help the Search UX team make data driven
decisions!
