Responsibilities
Define Model Alignment & Interaction Standards: You will establish insights and principles to bridge the gap between model intelligence and interaction
Architect Strategic Measurement & Future Opportunities: Lead insights into high-priority investment areas within the model landscape. You will invent rigorous methodologies to quantify complex user needs, creating the durable standards that guide the organization’s long-term strategy
Drive Product Impact through Strong Partnership: Collaborate closely with Product Management, Engineer, Research Science and Design leadership to translate complex research findings into actionable product and/or model insights. Your insights will directly influence the model and product roadmap
Drive Engineering Efficiency & Scalability: Partner deeply with Engineering leadership to translate user needs into scalable frameworks. You will guide technical investment away from one-off "novelty" features and toward durable components that drive utility across all verticals (Shopping, Edu, etc.)
Executive Influence & Org Shaping: Act as an institutional authority on Human-AI interaction. You will synthesize complex, high-level insights to influence the roadmap at the VP/SVP level, shifting resource allocation and serving as an example of UXR influence across the organization
Communicate with Clarity and Precision: Translate research findings into compelling narratives. You will produce high-quality written reports, presentations, and frameworks that clearly articulate the "so what" and drive alignment across cross-functional teams
Elevate the UXR Practice: Act as a leader and mentor on the UXR team for Gemini. You will help build a culture of excellence by modeling best practices, providing guidance to other researchers, and raising the bar for research quality and impact across the team
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience
10+ years of experience in User Experience Research, with a track record of driving strategic product direction
Expertise in Mixed Methods: You can seamlessly move between qualitative depth (diary studies, interviews) and quantitative rigor (large-scale logs analysis, metrics definition)
Experience defining Platform/System Strategy: You have a history of creating frameworks that scale across multiple product verticals rather than shipping isolated features
Preferred
Master's degree or PhD in a related field
Demonstrated experience working on AI-powered products (e.g., large language models, conversational AI, generative AI) and a robust understanding of the underlying technology and unique user challenges
Ability to 'speak the language' of Engineering to influence model training, RLHF pipelines, or UI framework implementation
Proven ability to define the 1-2 year vision for a product category and align conflicting stakeholders (e.g., Design vs. Engineering) around a shared user truth
Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a portfolio of work that demonstrates the ability to craft compelling narratives and impactful reports
