You\'ll help us understand our customers deeply and make evidence-based decisions.

• Synthesise findings into clear, actionable insights that connect directly to product outcomes and business goals.
• Champion the voice of the customer across teams, helping others see how research drives impact.
• Help evolve our research practice, operations, tools, and ways of working across domains.

Qualifications
