At the same time, you’ll play a key role in mentoring product designers and cross-functional teams in qualitative methods such as usability testing, interviews, and co-design.

  • Synthesising insights: Turn complex data sets (both qual and quant) into clear, compelling findings that inform design and business decisions
  • Democratising research: Help others understand and apply research through templates, training, and collaborative practices
  • Planning strategically: Scope and prioritise research efforts to align with product roadmaps and business needs
  • Promoting evidence-based design: Encourage a culture of informed decision-making through storytelling, workshops, and regular research sharing
  • Cross functional collaboration: Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and Analysts to spot opportunities and define customer-centric solutions
  • Improving research practices: Continuously review and refine our research approach, tools, and repository

  • Cross functional communication: Able to present insights in a structured and engaging way to different audiences
  • Coaching mindset: Comfortable mentoring others and improving their research skills
  • Product experience: Used to working with Agile teams, contributing at every stage of the product lifecycle
  • Customer empathy: A strong belief in putting users first, and experience advocating for their needs
  • Education or equivalent experience: A degree or equivalent experience in Psychology, HCI, Sociology, or a related field for example statistics, maths, science
  • Quantitative fluency: Able to plan, run, and analyse large-scale studies using tools like Qualtrics, or SurveyMonkey; familiarity with tools like Dovetail, R, Python is desirable but not required
