  • Triangulate qualitative and quantitative data to develop a holistic view of our customers.
  • Build and maintain critical customer empathy artifacts such as personas and customer journeys maps.
  • Enable A/B testing capabilities, including understanding needs; establishing best practices; selecting technology; and overseeing quality of ongoing work in partnership with data science.
  • Work across the organization to establish a set of customer-backed OKRs, including VOC, NPS, CSAT best practices.
  • Partner with Business Intelligence and Data Science leaders to connect insights across market research and product research to maximize data-driven business impact.
  • Evangelize product research and customer insights across the organization, helping each employee across Clio connect to our customers' needs in real and meaningful ways.
  • Hire and coach a high-performing team of researchers to make it all possible.

Requirements:

  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills.
  • Strong leadership, partnering, and influencing skills.
  • Proven track record of leading a broad range of research initiatives that resulted in meaningful impact for the business and customers.
  • Experience building research capabilities from the ground up.
  • Experience working in a complex industry, supporting a broad range of products, across a broad range of customer types.
  • Unique ability to tame the complexity of multiple qualitative and quantitative data sources to uncover meaningful insights.
  • Innovative approach to uncovering actionable insights in a fast-paced environment.
  • High level of comfort working within a self-directed culture and navigating ambiguity.
  • Deep desire to help everyone (customers, stakeholders, and employees) do their best possible work.
