Join us as we work to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
Position Summary
As a Lead Quantitative UX Researcher, you’ll make behavioral data a core part of how we understand users, using Amplitude and behavioral analytics to uncover meaningful insights into the diverse client and customer populations we serve as a healthcare company. Embedded in specific product areas and partnering closely with our Behavioral Data & Product (BDP) team, you’ll drive how behavioral data shapes everyday product decisions alongside product, design, and engineering partners. This isn’t a lone-researcher role delivering findings from the sidelines: you’ll stay with the team to understand why users behave the way they do and help decide what we build in response. You’ll also be the team’s resident expert on behavioral data, helping teammates see what’s possible with it and get invested in using it well. This is a hybrid role based in Boston and reports to the Principal Design Researcher, Senior Manager.
About the Team
The Data and Ecosystem Platform subdivision focuses on data access, integration, and interoperability across the healthcare ecosystem. As part of the broader User Experience team, you will support specific product areas while shifting focus as organizational priorities evolve. The role will primarily focus on hands-on research and exploration, with additional responsibility for turning effective methods, cohort definitions, dashboards, study designs, and tracking standards into repeatable resources for other teams that raise the bar for how teams across the organization use behavioral data.

About athenahealth
Our vision: In an industry that becomes more complex by the day, we stand for simplicity. We offer IT solutions and expert services that eliminate the daily hurdles preventing healthcare providers from focusing entirely on their patients — powered by our vision to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
Our company culture: Our talented employees — or athenistas, as we call ourselves — spark the innovation and passion needed to accomplish our vision. We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives. We unite as mission-driven problem-solvers with a deep desire to achieve our vision and make our time here count. Our award-winning culture is built around shared values of inclusiveness, accountability, and support.
Our DEI commitment: Our vision of accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all requires addressing the inequities that stand in the way. That's one reason we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our business, from attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce to maintaining an inclusive environment for athenistas, our partners, customers and the communities where we work and serve.
What we can do for you:
Along with health and financial benefits, athenistas enjoy perks specific to each location, including commuter support, employee assistance programs, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, and collaborative workspaces — some offices even welcome dogs.
We also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our flexibility. While we know in-office collaboration is critical to our vision, we recognize that not all work needs to be done within an office environment, full-time. With consistent communication and digital collaboration tools, athenahealth enables employees to find a balance that feels fulfilling and productive for each individual situation.
In addition to our traditional benefits and perks, we sponsor events throughout the year, including book clubs, external speakers, and hackathons. We provide athenistas with a company culture based on learning, the support of an engaged team, and an inclusive environment where all employees are valued.
