• Partner with product managers and designers to identify research questions tied to active roadmap decisions
• Synthesize findings into clear, actionable insights and present them to cross-functional stakeholders
• Build and maintain a repository of research so past learnings are easy to find and reuse
• Evaluate new and existing features for usability, clarity, and trust, particularly around AI-generated content and autopilot-style automation
• Help define and track product and experience metrics in partnership with product and analytics

• 3+ years of experience in UX research or a similar applied research role
• Strong command of core research methods, from generative discovery to evaluative usability testing
• Experience translating ambiguous product questions into a research plan and a clear set of findings
• Comfort presenting insights to designers, engineers, and leadership in a way that drives decisions
• Solid writing and synthesis skills - you can turn messy interview notes into a tight set of recommendations
