What you'll do

As a member of our growing Research team, you’ll be instrumental in creating a world-class practice that uncovers insights and shapes products that solve real customer problems. While you'll have the opportunity to touch and influence various aspects of our platform and business, you'll drive research for our newest offering: Compensation. You'll focus on a product that's core to our strategy and that will enable our customers to have more clarity, efficiency, and equity around comp decisions which as we know, effects every single employee. This role will report to our UX Research Manager.

Deliver insights that drive product and design decisions for a 0 to 1 product

Work closely with the talented team of Designers, PMs, Engineers, and CX to identify the most impactful research questions, and develop effective ways to explore them to drive near and long term decision making.

Plan and lead both generative and evaluative research projects end-to-end at both a strategic and tactical level. You'll choose methods and processes that lead to sound decision-making in a fast-paced environment, including mixed methods such as surveying, interviewing, and more.

Clearly communicate and socialize research results to the right people at the right time and drive actionable recommendations that have real impact.

Who you are

7+ years of research experience: you've tackled complex workflows and systems, have worked across multiple product areas with many stakeholders, and enjoy sharing your findings with your cross-functional teammates.

A strategic, yet pragmatic eye: you have a keen eye for areas we should dive into. You ground your research priorities in things that will drive customer and business value, directly influencing the product roadmap.

Autonomous when you need to be: You independently identify research opportunities, scope the work effectively, and advocate to bring the project to life. You're also no stranger to the messy middle of the work, converging/diverging, choosing methods, and assessing constraints and risk.

Familiar with our structure: You have prior experience working in an in-house Research team and have worked in an embedded capacity.

A hunger for collaboration: you do your best work when partnering cross-functionally and believe that research shouldn't be left to one team, but should be a company-wide practice.

A passion for going beyond the request: you proactively identify opportunities to advocate for customer needs across product areas, increasing the utility, usability, and desirability of our platform.

A great communicator and collaborator: you simplify complexity and are clear and concise in driving understanding and action from your research findings.
