Contribute to the growth and maintenance of our centralized customer-knowledge system, ensuring research outputs are accessible, structured, and leveraged by the wider organization.
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and data scientists to embed research findings into every phase of the product lifecycle.
Craft compelling narratives and presentations to communicate research insights effectively to cross-functional partners and senior stakeholders, translating "what" customers do into "why" they do it.
What Success Looks Like
Research insights you deliver are frequently cited and directly incorporated into product roadmap decisions and new feature development.
You are recognized as the go-to expert for customer understanding within your focus areas.

What You Bring
4+ years of progressive, hands-on experience in user research, UX research, or consumer research for digital B2C products, with a proven track record of influencing strategy or growth.
Mastery of both qualitative (e.g., interviewing, ethnography, usability) and quantitative (e.g., surveys, A/B testing analysis) research methods – and the ability to choose and execute the most relevant approach
Exceptional storytelling and communication skills; you are highly effective at synthesizing complex data and insights into memorable, persuasive narratives.
