Responsibilities

Drive product research across LDI experiences.
Plan and execute end-to-end research to inform product decisions across multiple LDI domains.
Partner closely with product, design, and engineering to ensure research is embedded throughout the development process, from early discovery through validation.
Conduct market and ecosystem research. Go beyond user interviews. Analyze industry trends, competitive landscapes, and customer environments to bring broader market context to product positioning and long-term strategy. Because the LDI/Extend space is specialized, you'll need to understand the dynamics shaping it, not just the users within it.
De-risk product investments. Identify and validate assumptions early. Provide clear, evidence-based insights that help teams prioritize the right opportunities and avoid costly missteps before resources are committed.
Support diverse and evolving use cases. Contribute research across a range of LDI scenarios. Adapt methods and approaches based on the needs of different workflows, customer segments, and stages of product maturity.
Translate insights into actionable direction. Synthesize findings into recommendations that are clear and actionable, not just reports. When appropriate, help shape solution direction through concepts, frameworks, or early design prototypes that show the team what to build, not just what was learned.
