Be creative and resourceful in your approach to gathering insights, utilizing your relationships with clients and business partners, and knowing when to scale with vendors and secondary research.
Build relationships and collaborate with our business team on projects as well as conducting research with clients to understand their needs, problems and how to improve their end-to-end journey.
Influence and inform our product process - defining and evangelizing metrics and generating innovative ideas to expand our understanding of our users and our business.
Communicate and share insights from your research to the larger organization and identifying creative ways for the research team to share findings with a broader audience.
