Experience designing and leading end‑to‑end research programmes.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to synthesise complex information.
Ability to influence stakeholders and align teams around user‑centred thinking.
A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills.
Experience working in complex product ecosystems or research‑heavy environments is a plus.
