responsibilities will involve engaging directly with customers to understand their needs, defining user personas and use cases, and applying a variety of research methods to gather insights. Your research work will encompass formative inquiries, evaluative studies, rigorous usability testing, and data analytics. A key aspect of your work will be to synthesize your findings into actionable recommendations and communicate them through impactful artifacts to drive customer adoption and product success. Collaborating closely with product managers and designers, you will influence product strategy and validate design concepts through usability testing and behavioral data analysis. What you will do Champion End-to-End User Research: You'll drive the entire research lifecycle by defining, planning, and executing studies to build a deep, empathetic understanding of customer needs. This includes identifying research goals, selecting appropriate qualitative or quantitative methods, and advocating for a consumer-grade user experience backed by a strong portfolio of impactful work. Collaborate to Build a Strategic Roadmap: Working in close partnership with product design, development, and product teams, you will identify key research topics and build a research roadmap. You'll be responsible for communicating this plan regularly to ensure it remains relevant and aligned with team priorities. Synthesize Data into Actionable Insights: A core function is to analyze and synthesize research findings into clear design and product recommendations. You will also develop metrics to measure user experience quality, effectively communicating results to influence decisions and advocate on behalf of the customer. Execute with Methodological Rigor: You must possess the ability to independently select the correct methodological framework for any given research question. This includes managing all logistics, from participant recruitment to scheduling, while effectively navigating shifting priorities and time constraints. Integrate AI into Workflows: You are expected to have experience with critically evaluating and incorporating AI into your workflows. This includes leveraging AI-powered tools, automating workflows, and analyzing AI-driven insights to enhance problem-solving and decision-making within your role. You will create and evolve research agents and research platforms to accelerate learning velocity; extracting insights from existing intelligence repositories, conducting rapid discovery, concept, content, and usability testing.

Deep knowledge of user interface design, usability evaluation techniques, task analysis, and experimental design. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. Experience in enterprise or B2B software is a plus, but not required—what matters most is your willingness to learn new technical concepts quickly and your proactive attitude. A strong team player who enjoys working in international, cross time-zone, cross-functional product teams and actively shaping UX strategies. Ability to drive vision and strategy discussions through research by analyzing, consolidating, or synthesizing what is known about user, product, service, or business needs.
