Bolt Technology OÜ

Staff UX Researcher

2025 - Current | Tallinn, Estonia

Leading global, multi-method research for the core business, ride-hailing.

  • Led field research, demand validation, and concept evaluations for new service/demand initiatives.

  • Scaled research craft by upskilling VPs, PMs and operations teams on customer-call protocols and survey design. Mentored associate designers on a UXR Workstation program.

  • Orchestrated a fundamental shift for the ride-hailing vertical by pivoting team focus from uncontrollable operational challenges to digital service-recovery interventions; defined high-agency investment opportunities for the 2026 roadmap which address the “digital-to-service” reality gap.

I worked on things like…

  • Partnered with Data Science to redefine the “Meeting Join Success” OKR for Microsoft Teams. Identified flaws in existing usage data and introduced behavioral “success” buckets; prevented the removal of critical pre-join features.

  • Championed a “social/emotional jobs” framework through long-term foundational research, identifying and proposing new features which were implemented.

  • Established rapid iterative testing and evaluation (RITE) protocols and owned new UX quality processes to improve delivery across key user flows.

  • Managed a global customer-panel program, increasing stakeholder engagement and monthly sessions in the program by 50% through new recruitment strategies and user-segment expansion (e.g. small business)
