The Experience

Slack Research partners with Product, Design, and Engineering to ground decisions in customer evidence. Rolling Research is our rapid research program for fast customer evidence at the pace product teams ship. It replaces guesswork with validated insight, protects revenue-critical roadmap decisions, and raises launch confidence and adoption.

You'll help expand Slack's established Rolling Research program, leading rapid, primarily evaluative studies across product areas. You'll partner with Product, Design, Engineering, and fellow researchers to turn time-sensitive questions into focused studies with clear recommendations. Beyond executing studies, you'll prioritize competing needs, exercise judgment about what rapid research can (and cannot) answer, and connect findings across studies. You'll also partner with Research Operations and recruiting to improve the program's methods, participant experience, and tooling.

You'll help teams learn quickly through focused studies, clear prioritization, and close partnership, making customer evidence useful before decisions are locked in, and helping partners act on what they learn.

What You'll Actually Be Doing
