  • Analyze and translate complex data sources (e.g., surveys, behavioral data, and market intelligence) to build cohesive, evidence-based perspectives that guide product decisions.
  • Champion user-centered decision-making by embedding research into product strategy, advocating for user needs, and influencing leaders across functions.

  • Highly proficient in R for statistical programming and analyzing survey data.

  • Extensive hands-on experience manipulating behavioral data using SQL and integrating into survey methods to tell a cohesive user-focused story.

  • Demonstrated ability to craft compelling narratives using quantitative data and visualizations.

  • Demonstrated success operating in fast-paced, agile environments, adapting to shifting priorities while maintaining research impact.

  • Hands-on experience with mixed methods and qualitative research, able to collaborate with qualitative researchers to enable mixed methods research designs and roadmaps.

  • Collaborative and influential communicator, skilled at building partnerships with cross-functional teams and driving alignment through evidence-based insights.
