Are you a researcher who thrives at the intersection of user insight and product strategy? Do you get excited about not just uncovering what users need, but also about driving the product decisions that bring those insights to life?

We are looking for a seasoned Senior Product Research Strategist to join our dynamic team. This isn't a traditional research role; it's a hybrid position designed for someone who thinks like a Product Manager but loves the rigor of research. You will be the critical link between deep user understanding and actionable product strategy, directly influencing our roadmap and fueling innovation.

If you are a strategic thinker who loves to own problems from hypothesis to execution, we want to hear from you.

What You\'ll Do

• Drive Product Strategy : Conduct comprehensive user, market, and competitive research to identify opportunities and shape the future direction of our products.
• Translate Insights into Action : Synthesize complex data into clear, compelling product requirements, user stories, and strategic recommendations for feature prioritization and roadmap planning.
• Collaborate for Impact : Partner closely with Product Managers, Data Analysts, and Designers to validate product hypotheses, measure success, and drive tangible business outcomes.
• Influence Decision-Making : Deliver actionable insights that inform and influence both our near-term tactics and long-term business and product strategy.

Who You Are (Qualifications)

• You have 4+ years of experience in a research role with significant exposure to product management principles and practices (e.g., roadmap development, backlog grooming, agile rituals).
• You possess a strong toolkit of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and know how to apply them to answer critical business questions.
• You have an ownership mindset —you don’t just deliver reports; you own the problem and drive the insights through to execution.
• You are resilient and thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments, with an enterprise-first attitude.
• You are a brilliant communicator and storyteller, skilled at engaging and aligning stakeholders at all levels.

Ideal Backgrounds Include

• Former consultants with experience in product-led or tech-driven projects.
• Professionals from service design or UX research who have completed product management rotations or have closely embedded with product teams.
• Individuals from tech-enabled companies with hybrid research / product structures.

Why Join Us

• High Impact : Play a pivotal role where your work directly shapes our product and company trajectory.
• Growth Opportunity : Bridge two critical disciplines and carve out a unique career path.
• Collaborative Culture : Work with a talented, cross-functional team that values curiosity and evidence-based decision making.
