Job Description
Senior Experience Researcher
Thumbtack
Role Description Researchers at Thumbtack are embedded within product teams and serve as advocates for both customers and pros. As a Senior Experience Researcher, you'll shape research strategy for multiple product pods, including one focused on bringing a recent acquisition into the Thumbtack ecosystem — and connect that work to our broader Demand Growth strategy. You'll run mixed-methods studies end to end, but you'll also do more than answer questions: you'll help define what the pods should learn next, build the frameworks and measurement systems that guide decisions, and influence product strategy at the leadership level. This is an AI-forward practice — we expect you to use AI fluently across the research lifecycle, to build reusable AI tooling as needed, and to help define how AI-enabled research should evolve. What you’ll do - Independently scope and run mixed-method studies end to end, and define your product area’s research agenda — identifying high-leverage questions before they're obvious. - Tie research to Thumbtack's broader demand growth strategy — surfacing how we can better drive customer demand and where the biggest opportunities and risks lie. - Develop the frameworks, measurement systems, and mental models that guide decision-making as the acquisition integrates into Thumbtack. - Get up to speed quickly on an unfamiliar product, market, and user base; turn loose, high-stakes problem spaces into clear strategy and research plans. - Use AI fluently across the research lifecycle, and build reusable AI tooling (agents, workflows, automations, prototypes) that the broader team adopts. - Help define how AI-enabled research operates in the pods, while critically evaluating outputs for accuracy and bias. - Partner with product, design, engineering, and data science — and influence lead/director-level decisions through insight. - Turn complex data into compelling, exec-ready narratives that shape direction at all levels. Qualifications - 8+ years of applied research experience, with a track record of senior, independent impact and a degree in a behavioral or social science field (e.g., Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive Science, Experimental Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Information Science, Economics) or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree preferred. - Strong command of both qualitative and quantitative methods across product phases, with mixed-methods depth (interviews, surveys, usability and concept testing) and fluency in analysis choices (significance, sample sufficiency); proficient with research and analysis tools (e.g., Qualtrics, dscout; R, SPSS, or Python). SQL a plus. - A track record of building frameworks, measurement systems, segmentations, or research programs that went beyond a single study. - High, demonstrated AI fluency across the research lifecycle, paired with the judgment to evaluate outputs critically and apply them responsibly. - Evidence of building reusable AI tooling — agents, automated workflows, or prototypes — that others adopted, and a point of view on how AI-enabled research should evolve. - Highly self-directed in ambiguity, with demonstrated influence on product strategy with senior (GPM/director-level) stakeholders and excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills. Requirements - Nice to have: experience standing up or scaling research in a new or fast-changing area (0-to-1, integrations, or post-acquisition); experience researching AI-powered products; and knowledge of home services, marketplaces, or small business platforms. Expected Salary Ranges For candidates living in Ontario and British Columbia, the expected salary range for the role is currently $147,100.00 - $190,300.00. Actual offered salaries will vary and will be based on various factors, such as calibrated job level, qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role.

Role Description This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up. As Cyncly's first Lead User Researcher, you will establish and shape the user research practice across our global product portfolio — defining the methodology, tooling, processes, and standards that will underpin how we understand and advocate for our users. You will work closely with the Head of UX Design and partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to embed research-led thinking at the heart of how we build. This is a hands-on role: you will be both practitioner and practice-builder. You will conduct research yourself across the full range of methods — generative, evaluative, quantitative, and strategic — while simultaneously laying the foundations for a team that can grow around you. Key Position Responsibilities Include - Establish the user research practice at Cyncly from scratch — defining frameworks, standards, workflows, and a research repository that the wider organisation can draw on. - Select, implement, and manage the research tooling stack (e.g., participant recruitment platforms, moderated/unmoderated testing tools, survey tools, and insight management systems). - Plan and conduct high-quality research across generative, evaluative, quantitative, and strategic methods — including user interviews, usability testing, surveys, concept testing, and Jobs-to-be-Done studies. - Translate research findings into clear, actionable insights that directly influence product strategy, roadmap decisions, and design direction. - Collaborate closely with the Head of UX Design, product managers, and designers to identify research priorities and integrate research into the product development lifecycle. - Champion a user-centric culture across the business, communicating the value of research and upskilling colleagues in research best practices. - Build and maintain a participant panel and relationships with customers across Cyncly's global markets. - As the team grows, help shape the research function — contributing to hiring decisions, mentoring junior researchers, and establishing a centre of excellence for user insight. Qualifications - A degree in a relevant field such as Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Design, or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent professional experience demonstrating the same depth of knowledge will equally be considered. - 5–8 years of user research experience, ideally within a B2B SaaS or enterprise software environment. - Proven ability to operate independently — with a track record of setting up or significantly scaling a user research practice. - Strong command of both qualitative and quantitative research methods: in-depth interviews, usability testing, surveys, JTBD frameworks, analytics interpretation, and concept testing. - Demonstrated experience selecting and implementing research tooling (e.g., Dovetail, UserZoom, Maze, UserTesting, Optimal Workshop, or similar). - Skilled at communicating research insights to diverse audiences — from design teams to senior leadership — with clarity and impact. - Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working in a fast-moving, growth-stage technology environment. - Experience working with globally distributed teams, with sensitivity to research across diverse cultures and user segments. - Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills — able to build trust and advocacy for research without formal authority. - Experience working in close partnership with UX design, product management, and engineering teams. Benefits - Flexible and autonomous work environment. - Supportive teammates and leaders committed to your growth. - Opportunities to embrace curiosity and welcome new ideas. - Encouragement to bring your authentic self to work.
