Ability to frame ambiguous problems into structured research approaches and actionable outputs.
Advanced analytical and synthesis skills, translating data into clear, decision-oriented insights.
Strong understanding of user-centred design, validation frameworks, and experience metrics.
Experience influencing stakeholders and driving decisions through insights.

Familiarity with AI-assisted research tools (e.g., synthesis, survey generation, insight scaling) and curiosity to continuously learn more AI tools
Experience with remote, unmoderated, and scaled research methods.
