empower creators to own their own destiny. Our Research team exists
to ensure our Product teams understand our customers better than
our customers know themselves. We do this through conducting
training for the organization; providing coaching and feedback to
designers & PMs and helping the organization make data-driven
decisions through primary and secondary research that cuts across
our product teams and extends beyond our current customers. We
blend quantitative and qualitative research methods to help the
organization understand the why, how much, who, what, and so what.
About the role: We're looking for a Product Researcher to work
fluidly and collaboratively with the rest of the organization.
You're an experienced mixed methods researcher with a wide range of
qualitative and quantitative research methods. You love
experimenting with research and can always find an optimal method
for the job and constraints at hand. When the right method doesn't
exist, you invent it. We are an AI-first company, so you also have
to be comfortable using AI as a partner in getting work done or
building custom GPTs or Gems to accelerate the way you work. You
know when to engage with teams in Design, Product, Engineering,
Data Science and which questions to ask, where to probe, and how to
land insights across a business. You believe that customer research
is everyone's business and democratize it whenever you can. You
know that true insights cannot be "delivered", but must be
"developed". You're passionate about products and believe great
experiences are always inspired by a deep understanding of people.
How you'll make an impact: You will create the conditions for
product success, by providing strategic research that the team
needs at all stages of the product lifecycle, and developing into a
growing knowledge center that ensures human empathy and informs
product decisions. Facilitate research events, using appropriate
tools and protocols to understand stated and unstated needs and
pain-points. De-risk investments by conducting mixed research
methods, develop insights that guide our product strategy across
teams in Product, Design, Engineering and Data Science. Inform
multiple product road maps through your research insights. Increase
the velocity and volume of research within Klaviyo through
partnerships, lunch and learns, and at least quarterly "top
findings" synthesis. Drive changes to product and design through
synthesizing and communicating research findings into meaningful
recommendations and actionable results in order to inform business
decisions. We do not conduct research to deliver reports, we
conduct research to help the organization make better decisions
faster and our insights should be direct about those decisions.
What we're looking for: 3 years designing and executing mixed
method research projects that influence business decisions. For
this role, we are especially interested in a researcher with some
background in statistics and survey design Experience developing or
combining research methods to achieve more actionable insights.

fundamental user behaviors. Ability to provide thought leadership
within the organization to help us stay true to our value of
putting the customer first. Bachelor or Master degree in HCI,
Design, Sociology, Anthropology, Cognitive Psychology or a related
field Nice to have: Ability to develop creative approaches to
researching complex user experience problems and convey ideas in a
tangible form. You believe that "fun" and "engaging" are as
