Your responsibilities:

• Carry out evaluative research to optimise the experience of new and existing features and/or products.
• Perform generative research to answer high-level questions about user behaviour.
• Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, content strategists, analysts, and engineers to identify research opportunities and determine the appropriate research method.
• Coach, and support your colleagues. Train and empower designers and Product Managers on evaluative research methods on a variety of devices, including mobile and desktop.

• Able to work independently and adapt research practices to meet the needs of a start-up environment (lean & results-driven). Experience partnering with data analysts/data scientists on research projects is a plus.
