  • Working knowledge of both generative and evaluative research methods (card sorting, journey mapping, moderated and unmoderated testing)
  • Comfort integrating qualitative and quantitative data into a single narrative
  • Practical experience using gen-AI or agentic tools (NotebookLM or similar) to support a research workflow
  • Proficiency with collaboration tools like Figma, Confluence and standard research tooling at a team-wide or enterprise scale
