- Frame and scope ambiguous research problems, translating complex business questions into clear research plans with defined objectives and expected outcomes

- Act as a strategic partner to Product and Design stakeholders by proactively identifying research opportunities, challenging assumptions and representing the user perspective in trade-off discussions
- Contribute to product roadmaps by ensuring research findings shape both immediate development cycles and longer-term planning
- Build and maintain resources that enable stakeholders to run quality research independently; consult on and provide feedback on stakeholder-led research plans
- Identify and implement improvements to UXR tools and processes, including leveraging AI to create repeatable, scalable workflows that raise the quality and efficiency of research across the product org
- Collaborate with research-adjacent teams (e.g. Product Analytics, Product Marketing) to synthesize insights and avoid redundant work
What You'll Bring to the Table
- 4–7 years of applied UX research experience, with a portfolio demonstrating research-informed decision-making and the ability to extract actionable insights from qualitative and quantitative data in complex technology spaces
- Proficiency across a broad range of qualitative and quantitative research methods, with experience running mixed-method studies and knowing when to apply each approach
- Hands-on experience integrating AI tools into your research workflow, whether for synthesis, analysis, recruiting, or other stages of the research process
- Experience operating with autonomy across multiple product teams or squads and managing 1–3 concurrent studies with varying timelines and support models
- Excellent communication skills with a track record of tailoring insights and recommendations for diverse audiences, from product development teams to executive leadership
- Experience facilitating workshops (e.g. ideation, co-creation) and actively driving research findings into product decisions (not just awareness)
- Demonstrated ability to build relationships with cross-functional partners and coach them on research best practices and study design
- Familiarity with digital advertising, data privacy regulations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), and evolving industry trends such as cookieless targeting or AI-driven optimization
- Experience conducting UX research on AI-powered features or products (with an understanding of the unique challenges this entails) is a strong asset
