Experience independently running research studies end‑to‑end (objective‑setting, study design, execution, and synthesis) is a plus. Working knowledge of both qualitative discovery methods (usability testing, contextual inquiry) and quantitative data collection methods (surveys, analytics review, A/B testing, card sorting, tree testing, session observation). Demonstrated experience is a plus. Strong note‑taking and data organization skills to capture and structure raw findings accurately for leadership synthesis and analysis.
