  • Partner closely with Design and Product Management to uncover new, user-centric opportunities; effectively communicate research insights and findings to internal teams (Data Science, Marketing, and Engineering), leading with data-driven analysis and business relevant synthesis, via research reports and presentations
  • Advocate customer needs through storytelling, including writing, visual, and verbal communication to build empathy for our customers
