- Lead generative, discovery research with fractional leaders — fractional C-suite, board advisors, and senior consultants — to build a deep understanding of how they work, the problems they own, and where today's tools fall short.
- Own research end-to-end as our first researcher: scope the questions, recruit participants, run the interviews, synthesize, and turn raw conversations into decision-ready insights.
- Anchor research around a major new product area we're investing in — de-risking the bet before significant design and engineering effort, and surfacing adjacent opportunities along the way.
- Partner closely with product managers, designers, and the founding team — embedding insights directly into roadmap decisions, design reviews, and company strategy rather than handing off reports.
- Lay the foundations of a research practice — participant pipelines, a lightweight repository, and repeatable playbooks — so insights compound across projects instead of getting lost between them.
- Translate findings into narratives that move decisions: sharp recommendations, clear artifacts, and a point of view the team can rally around.
