In this role, you’ll bring expertise in behavioral analysis, statistical modeling, and survey methods to design, execute, and communicate strategic research on a deadline in a fast-paced environment. You’ll uncover opportunities and solutions that balance engagement and revenue goals, present your results to senior audiences, and partner with other leaders to develop strategy that executes on our learnings. With this role, you’ll have ownership of a broad problem space, autonomy to set and execute the learning agenda, and impact over the holistic Pinner experience. 

What you’ll do:

• Work across consumer- and advertiser-facing orgs to define and address complex, ecosystem level-questions with implications for the business and overall user experience

• Proactively guide teams to the most important questions and problems to address for users and/or the business; set the learning agenda and decide on the best approaches to address it

• Explore the intersection of perceptions/attitudes and behaviors through surveys and deep behavioral analysis

• Inform and guide the development of user-centric metrics

• Present to senior leadership and tailor deliverables and socialization efforts for these audiences

• Bring together a holistic understanding of the problem space from behavioral analyses, experiment learnings, qualitative insights, and own work to inform product and business decisions 

• Lead strategic initiatives and actively engage in the development of strategy with Product, Design, Engineering, and Data Science partners

• Partner with research managers to set the quantitative research direction and provide guidance to more junior quantitative researchers

What we’re looking for:

• Understanding of experimentation at scale and ML approaches

• Experience working horizontally across multiple teams and presenting to senior leadership
