• Analyze, integrate, and synthesize product usage data, user research findings, and other inputs to build coherent, data-backed strategic recommendations

• Partner with User Research, Data Science, and Marketing Analytics teams across planning, execution, and measurement to maximize the impact of marketing and product investments through comprehensive learning frameworks

• Influence decision-making, go-to-market planning, and goal-setting through clear communication with stakeholders at all levels, including leadership

• Proactively identify and scope new research opportunities and potential risks, helping teams navigate ambiguity and solve undefined problems

• Leverage and champion AI-powered research methodologies to accelerate insight generation, research delivery, and innovation in marketing measurement
  
  KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

• 8+ years of experience in market research, consumer insights, or strategic consulting

• Experience designing and executing both quantitative and qualitative research programs

• Proven ability to translate complex research into clear strategic recommendations that drive business outcomes

• Experience working closely with marketing or product teams, with a track record of influencing strategy and decision-making

• Experience synthesizing information from multiple sources to build holistic and compelling strategies

• Experience solving both undefined and well-defined business problems using appropriate research methodologies

• Experience with survey design and programming tools (e.g., Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey)

• Excellent communication and presentation skills with demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders

• Experience in brand building, brand strategy development, and product marketing

• Experience with AI products, features, or technology marketing

• Experience in consumer technology, digital media, or entertainment-related industries

• Experience collaborating with User Research, Data Science, and cross-functional product teams
