- Design and analyze research for rapid learning and growth experiments, helping teams evaluate new concepts and onboarding flows without sacrificing user trust or long-term retention.
- Enable and democratize research safely by mentoring and guiding designers and PMs to conduct their own evaluative research with the right templates, guidelines, and guardrails.
- Raise the bar for research rigor and quality across the Growth area, championing evidence-based decision-making and ensuring user insights are grounded in clear truths.
- Standardize research operations, including participant recruitment and tooling, and contribute high-quality findings to the shared research repository to keep insights reusable and accessible.
- Utilize AI responsibly to accelerate research workflows, while exercising sound judgment to ensure quality, data responsibility, and human expertise remain at the core of your findings.
In your first 12 months, you will:
- Establish a prioritized research strategy and learning agenda for the Consumer Growth collective, collaborating with design and research leadership to define key hypotheses, success metrics, and methodologies to guide product teams.
- Influence product roadmaps across critical journeys (onboarding, activation, and retention) by translating complex user behaviors into clear, compelling, and actionable recommendations.
- Build a cohesive understanding of the growth funnel by triangulating qualitative insights with behavioral and quantitative data (like survey analytics), creating decision-ready frameworks to help teams navigate complex experience trade-offs.
- Scale research impact through enablement, mentoring and guiding designers and PMs to conduct their own evaluative research safely with the right templates, guidelines, and guardrails.
- Raise the standard of research craft and quality across the Growth area, contributing high-quality findings to the shared repository, standardizing research operations, and mentoring other team members.
- Drive measurable growth outcomes by partnering with product and engineering teams to design and evaluate experiments that improve activation, repeat engagement, and long-term retention without sacrificing user trust.
