Digital products play a central role in how we create value for customers, support the teams who serve them, and shape the consumer experience. Our product organization brings together small, empowered teams that move with clarity, speed, and purpose, enabling digital to be a meaningful source of advantage across our operating unit.

Our work touches on the experiences that keep the business running, including customer journeys, service delivery, sales workflows, and the systems that connect them. We are raising our standards for product craft and rebuilding the platforms behind these experiences.

We are hiring multiple Product Design Researchers as part of building a strong in-house design and research practice. Researchers partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, and Data teams to bring deep user understanding into the decisions that shape our products and services. If you are energized by uncovering user needs, translating ambiguity into clarity, and influencing direction through evidence, we would love to meet you.

_Note - we currently have 3 Product Design Researcher opportunities available, all represented by this posting._

* Ability to break down complex systems and behaviors into clear, structured insights

* Strong analytical thinking, with comfort interpreting both qualitative and quantitative signals

* Excellent communication and storytelling skills that influence decisions across disciplines

* A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end research and how insights shaped product outcomes

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience conducting research in multi-role, multi-touchpoint, or operational environments

* Familiarity with research and synthesis tools such as Dovetail, Lookback, UserTesting, Qualtrics, and analytics dashboards

* Experience partnering closely with Data & Analytics on mixed-methods studies

* Exposure to service design, workflow-heavy environments, or complex ecosystems

* Familiarity with AI-assisted research or insight-generation tools
