Provide leaders with metrics for adoption, engagement, friction, and feature performance.
Partner with Data and Engineering to ensure accurate event instrumentation and data integrity.
Establish consistent definitions and standards for product metrics across teams.
Cross-Functional Partnership & Enablement
Act as connective tissue across Product, Engineering, Support, CX, Revenue, and Operations.
Support Product Managers with research planning, backlog structure, and hypothesis validation.
Define best practices and coach teams on data literacy, research rigor, and insight generation.
Model professionalism, collaboration, and positive intent in all interactions.
AI Fluency & Innovation
Use AI tools to accelerate research synthesis, tagging, analysis, and workflow automation.
Demonstrate measurable impact from AI-enabled efficiencies or insight depth.
Champion modern research, analytics, and operational methodologies across Product.
What You’ll Bring
Experience
4–7+ years of experience in UX Research, Product Operations, Product Analytics, or a hybrid role.
Hands-on experience with tools such as Pendo, monday.com, Jira, Confluence, Aha!, Sigma, and Power BI.
Experience operating in complex, multi-product or scaled SaaS environments.
