• Build the frameworks and measures Unity uses to track audience sentiment

• Present findings and recommendations directly to senior leadership, including perspectives that challenge existing assumptions

What we're looking for

• Effective written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate technical findings into clear business recommendations

• Experience with brand and research methodology

• Enthusiasm for using AI tools as a core part of your day-to-day analysis and workflow

• An inquisitive, curious approach to understanding what people actually need to know

• Comfort presenting insights and recommendations directly to senior leaders, including views that may challenge prevailing assumptions

You might also have
