-
Support the product team in testing ideas and prototypes with internal and external users
-
Use quantitative sources like Snowflake and Mixpanel to parse through usage logs to complement or inspire follow-up qualitative studies that understand the "why" behind the data
-
Cultivate relationships with internal stakeholders and customers as part of ongoing partnerships
-
Synthesize, communicate, and present research findings to stakeholders. Make concrete and actionable recommendations based on your findings
-
Clearly articulate the rationale behind research conclusions and recommendations
