- Utilize a variety of research methods to embed quantitative insights into the end-to-end product development lifecycle (e.g., discovery opportunity sizing, prioritization, concept testing, tracking and measurement after launch).
- Partner cross-functionally at a strategic level with product, design, engineering, data science, and marketing to develop and own a research roadmap, identify high-impact research opportunities, and align insights to business priorities.
- Analyze and translate complex data sources (e.g., surveys, behavioral data, and market intelligence) to build cohesive, evidence-based perspectives that guide product decisions.
- Champion user-centered decision-making by embedding research into product strategy, advocating for user needs, and influencing leaders across functions.
- Elevate the quantitative practice by mentoring peers, refining methods and tools, and scaling approaches that increase the visibility and impact of user insights across Firefox.
What You'll Bring
