  • Are well-versed in a variety of mixed research methods including, but not limited to, ethnographic field studies, lab and remote usability studies, participatory design sessions, user surveys, and data analysis.
  • Are able to analyse large sets of quantitative data (like survey data) and collaborate with data teams to turn this into meaningful user insights.
  • Can synthesise qualitative/quantitative data quickly, turning complex research data into actionable product initiatives.
