You know about agile development and the art of helping researchers, designers, and product managers work as a cohesive unit. You are data-driven, leveraging both quantitative and qualitative insights to build a strong case for continuous improvement. You are able to collaborate with and influence your product and design partners and other leaders across the product group to become increasingly user-centered in everything we do from strategies to roadmaps and planning.
You are comfortable operating in a large, matrixed organization partnering with VP and Director level stakeholders. Finally, you are excited to be part of creating dramatic and impactful change at a company that is committed to becoming an inspiration to others when it comes to user experience research.
