  • 10+ years of experience in research roles, including team leadership responsibilities, with deep expertise in qualitative and quantitative methodologies across UX, consumer, and market research.
  • Strong understanding of the gaming and/or entertainment industry, its dynamics, trends, audience behaviors, and the realities faced by cross‑functional teams such as production, design, marketing, and publishing.
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and grow research teams, influence senior stakeholders, and drive strategic impact through clear communication, compelling storytelling, and methodological excellence.
  • Advanced skills in research design, analysis, and synthesis, with the ability to define robust approaches, maintain high analytical standards, and translate complex data into clear, actionable insights.
  • Solid experience in research operations and project management, including planning, prioritization, resource allocation, vendor coordination, and budget management, with the ability to support multiple projects in parallel.
  • A vision for elevating the research discipline, with the ability to evolve methodologies, introduce new practices, and strengthen the role, visibility, and strategic impact of research across the organization.
