  • Build and maintain relationships with academic institutions, policy think tanks, and other research partners
  • Work cross-functionally with other technical teams to improve our measurement infrastructure and data collection
  • Translate research insights into actionable recommendations for both product decisions and policy discussions
  • Amplify external engagement through research publications, policy briefs, and presentations to diverse stakeholders

Requirements:
