It’s a fantastic time to join a growing and ambitious team and help shape the future of travel!
Your Responsibilities
You will report to the Senior Research Manager for our Meta business (Flights, Accommodation and Cars) and your mission will entail:

* Translating user needs and insights into compelling strategic narratives that shape product, marketing, and business strategy decisions.
* Collaborating closely across disciplines to identify opportunities and shape roadmaps.
* Partnering with Data Science and Analytics to connect the dots between user behaviour, market trends and data to deepen our understanding of our users

Your Skills
* You have solid experience conducting strategic and tactical product research in a business setting.
* You are comfortable executing a range of methods (such as usability testing, interviews, surveys, focus groups, diary studies.)
* You are proficient at translating findings into practical recommendations with business impact with a track record of fueling business growth with your insights.
* 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.
* You have a growth mindset solution-orientation, and strong product sense.
* You relish working in a fast-paced environment.
* You are data-driven and love connecting the what and the why to keep the user at the centre of our decisions.
* Experience in e-commerce / travel tech would be a plus.
* Breadth of research method expertise, across both qualitative and quantitative would be advantageous.
What You Can Expect
* A supportive, trusting and open working environment - we’re in this together.
* A place where your research will be valued and used to improve our user experience – being traveller-centric is part of our DNA and there is a real thirst for user insight internally.
* A team that’s passionate about learning, experimentation and improving continuously.
* 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.
