• A unique opportunity to help shape our customer research function, defining methodologies, tools and processes

• Freedom to shape our research approach, working across deep user interviews to paint a holistic picture of our customer

• You will make a direct impact on product development and business strategy - your research will inform key decisions across the company, not just isolated UX tweaks

Your purpose in our mission

We’ve raised $17.8 million in Series A funding led by Google Ventures and joined by Khosla Ventures. They believe in our vision that the law should be accessible to everyone, and this is where your skills will directly shape customer experience in a company that’s growing quickly

Your manager and team

Please note that we are only considering South American based candidates for this role. 

Our org structure is made up of pods with distinct areas of focus to keep us all working on the most impactful things for our customers all of the time. Some of our team members work across multiple pods. Our structure was conceived with impact, autonomy and velocity in mind and we'd love to share more with you throughout our interview process. Your manager, Rafie Faruq, our Co-Founder & CEO will develop your skills and enable you to deliver on the pod mission.

This is what you’ll be doing

As a Customer Researcher at Genie AI you’ll be joining us in a dynamic stage of our growth so you’ll face lots of different challenges. Doing User Research for an AI product is a fascinating challenge, so be prepared to adapt your skillset! Below is what we need you to do, it’s up to you on the how:

Qualitative User Research & Insights:

• Conduct user interviews and research sessions, particularly with US timezone customers, to gather in-depth qualitative insights

• Tag, label, and synthesise research findings, transforming them into clear, actionable recommendations for Product, Growth, and Leadership teams

• Present research in digestible formats (e.g. written reports, presentations) to drive product decisions and business strategy

• Apply a variety of research methods as needed, balancing speed and rigour depending on the business context

• Strategy:

• Help lead and shape the user research strategy, defining how, when, and why research is conducted, while Product Managers drive the "what"

• Help establish research processes and best practices, ensuring insights are embedded into product and go-to-market decisions across teams

• Help maintain user personas, ensuring they accurately reflect customer segments and needs, and support go-to-market (GTM) strategy development in collaboration with Growth, Product Marketing and Sales

• Cross-functional collaboration:

• Work closely with Product, Growth, Marketing, and Sales to ensure research drives both product development and commercial success

• Contribute research-backed perspectives to strategic company meetings, influencing key decisions and helping shape company direction

This is how we’ll set you up for success and the outcomes we expect from you

Over your first 90 days you can expect us to help point you in the right direction to set you up for success. During the interview process we can talk you through a high level overview of your 90 day plan. 

By the end of your first three months we expect you to be:

• Month 1: Develop fluency with our key customer research tools and conduct a gap analysis of any missing infrastructure. Begin engaging directly with users, and immerse deeply in customer understanding to synthesise and present actionable insights

• Month 2: Help develop and implement a scalable customer research strategy and process, enabling PM’s, Designers, and other stakeholders to consistently generate insights that inform and inspire product and business decisions

• Month 3: Establish a clear, collaborative role within a cross-functional team (including PMs, Designers, and Growth), contributing to a customer-first, high-performance culture, while demonstrating strong business acumen and delivering impactful qualitative research insights

We’ll continually develop and measure success on the below criteria:

• Number of customer insights per month

• Level of knowledge of entire team about our customers

• Are we building highly impactful features?

We are a start up in an exceptionally dynamic stage of our growth. We are a customer and employee led organisation. What this means is that we adapt to our customers' needs, and the problems we’re solving today could be very different in six months, or even by the end of this recruitment process. We also listen to our team as we empower you to have full autonomy of your role - you're the expert. You should expect to work with us on how your role develops, grows and changes throughout your time at Genie.

It can be tough here because

• We don’t structure your work for you. We give you the what and you come up with the how

• We don’t try to get things perfect the first time. We get things to good enough, and then we continuously iterate

• This role sits between numerous stakeholders so it can be challenging to effectively manage expectations

But we think you’ll love

• Collaborating closely with diverse teams to shape impactful solutions and drive product success

• Exposure to a wide variety of cutting edge platforms and AI

• Full autonomy to drive new, better process for Genie AI

The skills you need to succeed in this role

• Qualitative Research: Strong understanding of unbiased interview techniques and best practices for user research

• Bundles of empathy

• Well developed presentation skills

(Don’t worry about ticking every single box on the list to be considered for this role.)

Unleash your magic: our interview process

• Step 1: Meet our Talent Acquisition Lead, Char, to assess your motivations and baseline skills

• Step 2: Complete our take home task

• Step 3: Technical interview with Nitish Mutha (our Co-Founder & CTO) and Rafie Faruq (our Co-Founder & CEO)

• Step 4: Culture interview with Rose Dent-Spargo (our Lead Product Designer) and Alex Denne (our Head of Marketing)

We can’t wait to meet you! Bring your authentic self, and get ready to explore our culture, team events, and big mission. We're excited to discover what makes you and us unique.
