This role establishes shared systems and standards that product teams operate within, enabling faster, clearer, and more consistent decision-making across the product lifecycle. What You’ll Do Validation & Readiness Design and evolve a staged validation system that reduces launch risk by guiding capabilities from internal testing through preview to general availabilityDefine experience measurement standards across the product lifecycle, including behavioral and experience health benchmarks used to assess readiness and inform decisionsEstablish scalable approaches to early customer exposure (ex. preview programs, progressive rollouts) that generate reliable signal before broad releaseDefine behavioral data and instrumentation requirements in partnership with Engineering and Telemetry, ensuring readiness signals are captured consistently across releasesEnsure readiness conclusions are grounded in both customer feedback and observed behavior, with clear articulation of risk, confidence, and implications Experience Health Measurement Build and own a multi-dimensional experience measurement framework that combines attitudinal and behavioral signals into a cohesive view of product experience health Apply this framework through clear baselines and benchmarks to help product teams understand readiness, performance, and areas of risk Translate measurement into clear, evidence-based insights that inform release decisions, prioritization, and ongoing product improvements Cross-Functional PartnershipPartner with Product to establish shared measurement baselines, with teams layering in feature-specific learning goals Translate readiness and experience health signals into clear recommendations and decision guidance for product and engineering leadership Contribute to the broader Customer Signals model, integrating telemetry, qualitative research, and experience health into a unified view of product performance Partner with Engineering to ensure measurement is designed into capabilities early, enabling reliable signal without slowing delivery Who You Are8+ years in quantitative UX research, mixed-methods research, or product insights, with strong quantitative and statistical depth and the judgment to know when behavioral data alone is not enoughExperience connecting customer feedback to observed behavior and explaining meaningful gaps between the two Experience with UX measurement frameworks (ex. HEART, UMUX-Lite, CSAT) and how to connect them to behavioral signals Experience working with staged rollouts, preview programs, or feature-flagged releases, and understanding how controlled exposure shapes signal quality Strong ability to synthesize across signal types and communicate clearly what the data means, what is at risk, and what should happen next Comfortable operating in ambiguity and defining structure where it does not yet exist Bonus Points Background in platform or infras
