- Strong project management skills - ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously and scope resources, timing, and budget for complex, multi-phased projects

- You are willing to travel a few times a year (once it is safe and appropriate)
- Bonus: You have a background in or exposure to the software or SaaS space and you’ve worked to support a product team / initiative within the space
Responsibilities
- You will act as end-to-end driver of mixed-methods research to inform initiative strategy (with a focus on GTM, marketing, and product strategy), leveraging surveys, 1st party data, social listening tools, interviews, and other sources
- You will own and maintain an initiative-level research roadmap informed by consistent conversations with initiative leads and be comfortable prioritizing and making tradeoffs accordingly
- You will provide input into critical decisions to help mitigate risk and drive innovation and business growth
- You will build relationships and foster two-way knowledge sharing to build a 360 degree view of the customer related to your initiative with other insights teams such as Customer Research, Competitive Intelligence, Analytics, CX Voice of Customer, Experience/UX Research, and Support Insights
- You will communicate and socialize insights and recommendations within and outside your initiative and up to leadership clearly, effectively, and diplomatically (through reports, presentations, casual conversations, cross-functional meetings, internal newsletters, workshops, emails, etc.)
- You will model these behaviors to other researchers and guide them to improve their abilities
