You will partner closely with product, design and engineering teams to ensure we are building the right solutions for the right users, informed by deep research, thoughtful synthesis and strategic judgment.

In this role, you will lead research initiatives end to end, orchestrate cross-functional collaboration, and guide road map and design direction at scale.

• Influential communication: You confidently and clearly present findings and recommendations that move stakeholders to action, even in complex or ambiguous situations.
• Systems thinking: You see patterns across user behavior, market context and product design, connecting insights to broader strategic opportunities.
• Operational excellence: You independently lead initiatives from planning through synthesis, aligning cross-functional partners without formal authority.
