Lead - UX Researcher

About the role

The Foresight & Behavioral Insights Unit exists to decode how consumers behave, think, and evolve - and to make that intelligence an unfair advantage for Glance. The team spans consumer understanding, market intelligence, experimentation, and Voice of Consumer programs. We work closely with Product, Growth, Marketing, and Data Science, and our output shows up in strategy decks, product roadmaps, and partner conversations alike. Our market is the United States; the team operates in-office out of Bangalore. Bridging that geographic and cultural distance is part of the craft. We're looking for a Senior Mixed Methods Researcher to bridge the qualitative-quantitative divide on the team and act as the senior research voice into Product, Growth, and Data Science on our most strategic questions. This is a senior individual contributor role with mentoring responsibility - you'll set the bar for how the team approaches mixed-methods work and how it integrates AI into the research craft.

Responsibilities

• Strategic & Mixed-Methods Research Leadership
• Design and lead mixed-methods research programs across Consumer Understanding, experimentation, and strategic research - from problem framing through fieldwork to recommendation
• Conduct grounded theory-style strategic research where the question is open-ended and the answer needs framing as much as evidence
• Inform experiment design with behavioural science principles and lead post-experiment interpretation - why something worked, why it didn't, and what to test next
• Hypothesis Generation & Data Partnership
• Generate hypotheses for Data Science from qualitative signals; investigate anomalies in product and funnel data to surface the "why" behind the numbers
• Partner with Product, Growth, and Data Science on funnel behaviour, decision heuristics, and cohort identification
• Read quantitative outputs critically rather than deferentially - cross-check the stories the data tells
• Mentoring & Methodological Bar-Setting
• Mentor existing UX researchers on methodology, study design, stakeholder engagement, and AI fluency
• Set the bar for how the team approaches mixed-methods work - what good looks like, where rigour is non-negotiable, where speed wins
• Set the bar for how the team uses AI in research - evaluating tools, building or adopting workflows, teaching what good AI-augmented research looks like in practice
• Author internal frameworks and playbooks that lift the team's collective craft
• How You Work With AI
• AI is a daily research tool on this team and a primary signal we hire on at this level. Senior researchers here are past the experimentation phase, with non-trivial integration in their own work and the judgment to teach the team what good AI-augmented research looks like.
• In interview, we will
