A track record of running research end to end with minimal oversight, ideally as a contractor, consultant, or solo researcher Strong synthesis and communication: you turn messy data into clear, decision-ready insights Comfort in a fast-moving environment where research has to keep pace with weekly ship cycles Experience in healthcare, tele-health, or another trust-sensitive consumer space is a plus Experience researching subscription products or conversion funnels is a plus Experience standing up research practices or tooling at an early-stage team is a plus The hourly rate for this role is $90 - $120 per hour.
