Pulse Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps product, UX, and design teams capture and analyze real user feedback across multiple research methodologies — surveys, interviews, evaluations, observations, and in-app integrations. It offers participant sourcing via a vetted panel (Pulse Voices™), an SDK (FlightRecorder) for embedded in-app feedback, automated AI tools to organize and surface insights, benchmarking and enterprise features with GDPR and ISO 27001 compliance. The platform targets enterprises and teams seeking end-to-end user research solutions.

📋 Description

• Drive performance of the Research Services business unit, including revenue tracking, forecasting, and margin management in partnership with leadership. • Set and communicate a compelling vision for the business unit: one that aligns with company goals and responds to how the UX research landscape is evolving. • Develop and execute go-to-market strategies that drive profitable growth at scale, with an emphasis on repeatable, product-led solutions over one-off engagements. • Partner with executive leadership on pricing, resource planning, and growth investments; provide regular visibility into performance trends and risks. • Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to our most important clients, owning the relationship at a senior level and acting as the point of escalation when it matters. • Drive new client acquisition and expand revenue within existing accounts through renewals, upsells, and cross-sell opportunities. • Guide Account Managers and Sales staff on long-term account strategy and how to unlock value for clients at the intersection of UX research and AI. • Translate client needs into compelling research solutions and service offerings, finding the creative approach that serves both the client and the business. • Partner closely with the Director of Enterprise Services to ensure studies are scoped, staffed, and delivered to a high standard. Delivery is owned by a dedicated Enterprise Services team, which means you stay focused on growth. • Identify emerging trends and opportunities in the UX research space, and position Pulse Labs to capitalize on them ahead of the market. • Lead and develop a focused team of Account Managers and Sales professionals within Research Services. • Set clear performance expectations, build a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, and make the team better over time. • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Design, and Enterprise Services to build integrated solutions.
