Remote User Researcher Jobs

TCUS was founded in 2024 by Kevin Schmidt and a dedicated team of changemakers who saw the need for bold, systemic solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. With backgrounds in engineering, medicine, and construction, our team combines technical expertise with a passion for human-centered impact. From supporting classrooms in Ethiopia to exploring sustainable housing solutions, we aim to create real, measurable change where it’s needed most.

TCUS is more than just a nonprofit—it’s a movement to rethink how change happens. Volunteers are essential to helping us expand our reach, refine our programs, and make a bigger impact. Whether you have skills in content creation, fundraising, research, or community engagement, there’s a place for you here. Join us in building a world where innovation meets compassion in action.

We’re looking for dedicated volunteers who are passionate about making a difference. Whether you’re interested in helping with social media, writing, outreach, or graphic design, we’d love to have you on board. Reach out today and be part of a team that’s working to create sustainable, systemic change!

The Chamber of Us (TCUS) is a volunteer-powered nonprofit building ethical infrastructure for global coordination. Our current focus is Libelle — an open-source, transparent volunteer-matching platform designed to replace black-box recruiting systems with something fair, auditable, and human-centered.

Libelle is early, ambitious, and rapidly evolving. We’re assembling a Design Circle of emerging UX/UI designers and user researchers who want to shape the product from the ground up.

If you’re a student or early-career designer looking for a meaningful, portfolio-ready project, this is an incredible opportunity.

As part of the Libelle Design Circle, you may contribute to:

• Conduct short user interviews with volunteers and coordinators
• Map out user journeys & pain points
• Create insight summaries and recommendations
• Help define early-stage product personas

• Turn rough concepts into Figma wireframes + mockups
• Design clean, intuitive flows for onboarding, parsing preview, and volunteer dashboards
• Collaborate with backend devs to refine requirements
• Create lightweight design systems (colors, spacing, components)

• Usability testing with early Libelle users
• Heuristic evaluations
• Compare UI options & gather feedback
• Produce small design iterations based on findings

No experience with all of these is necessary — we design collaboratively.

• Real product experience, not just “mock projects.” You’ll design for a real platform with real users.
• Strong portfolio pieces Including flows, wireframes, research summaries, and before/after redesigns.
• Collaboration with devs & data teams Work alongside fast-moving backend, parser, and governance pods.
• Mission-driven impact Every design decision feeds into building ethical, transparent tech.
• Mentorship + community You’ll be part of a small cross-functional group with regular check-ins and async collaboration.

This role is great for:

• Students in UX, HCI, Product Design, or related fields
• Bootcamp grads wanting hands‑on experience
• Early professionals switching into UX
• Anyone comfortable with Figma
• Curious problem-solvers who like user interviews & rapid iteration

No prior nonprofit or AI experience required. Curiosity + commitment go a long way.

• 3–6 hours/week
• Fully remote
• Flexible scheduling

If you don’t have a portfolio yet, that’s okay — share a project, class assignment, or even a Figma screenshot. We care more about willingness to learn.
