3. You are proficient at translating findings into practical recommendations with business impact with a track record of fueling business growth with your insights.
4. You are a team player with solid presentation skills and the ability to communicate findings to a large number of stakeholders in a persuasive and engaging way.
5. You have a growth mindset solution-orientation, and strong product sense.
6. You relish working in a fast-paced environment.

3. A team that’s passionate about learning, experimentation and improving continuously.
4. The opportunity to work alongside and learn from other talented researchers, try new things, have impact and grow your career.
Following extensive surveys and workshops around our teams needs and preferences, we’ve returned to our offices in a hybrid working pattern: typically that looks like two days in the office, flexible to an individual’s need. As such, this role would be a great fit for someone who lives within commuting distance of one of our UK and Barcelona offices and is eligible to work in the country.
