The Opportunity

- Partner with executive and cross-functional leaders to turn insights into clear product direction.
- Translate complex findings into compelling narratives that influence decisions.
- Define and track key experience and adoption metrics in partnership with data science.
- Advance AI-native research practices by thoughtfully integrating AI tools, including our own platform, into your workflow.
- Advocate for human-centered AI experiences that are proactive, trustworthy, and valuable.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in UX, product, or applied research (or equivalent advanced degree experience) in technical spaces.
- Proven experience leading research in complex, ambiguous, or zero-to-one environments.
- Strong mixed-methods research skills, with experience collaborating with other insights partners
