About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead insight strategy. Build the frameworks that turn complex data and psychological science into insights people can act on — for our products and for our partners.
  • Own the path from science to practice. Source from the research, design the data architecture and measurement models, and carry findings through to product and partner implementation.
  • Commercialize research. Take work beyond the experiment into product features, reporting frameworks, and go-to-market tools that deliver measurable value.
  • Consult with partners. Work directly with major client organizations to connect our product to their outcomes and apply behavioral science in ways that improve how they make decisions and how their people perform.
  • Influence across functions. Be the trusted voice between research, product, and go-to-market, and shape how the whole organization generates and applies insight.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • A PhD or equivalent depth in industrial-organizational psychology, behavioral or decision science, labor economics, or a related field.
  • A track record of applied research that changed a product, a decision, or a business outcome — not only a publication record.
  • Strong measurement and quantitative skills: survey and instrument design, psychometrics, causal and quasi-experimental methods, and real comfort with messy, real-world data.
  • The judgment to consult senior stakeholders and partners credibly, and the writing to make rigorous work land with a CHRO or a CFO.
  • A bias for ownership. You’re energized by ambiguous, integrative problems and you drive them to impact without waiting for a map.
  • Extra Credit: Domain depth in compensation, total rewards, or pay equity.
  • Extra Credit: Published thought leadership or a public research voice.
  • Extra Credit: Experience in a startup, an applied research lab, or a research-to-product environment.
  • Extra Credit: Working fluency with data tools such as SQL, Python, or R.
