About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

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

- Plan, run, and synthesize short-cycle studies across multiple product areas
- Triage incoming requests from PDE partners. Prioritize and route segment-specific questions to the correct audiences
- Write discussion guides
- Deliver insights fast, in formats that product teams can act on in the moment
- Partner with Research Operations and recruiting to manage screener profiles, panel health, and participant quality
- Improve the program's methods, templates, and tooling, including AI-assisted analysis and synthesis
- Keep studies consistent and compliant (consent, privacy, data handling)

You're Our Person If...

- 7-8+ years of relevant experience in UX or user research, ideally in very fast-paced product environments
- Strong command of qualitative methods, with comfort in mixed methods and lightweight quant
- A track record of influencing product decisions with time-sensitive research
- Skill at synthesizing quickly and communicating clearly to executives and cross-functional partners
- Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities
- Experience with B2B/enterprise products, collaboration tools, or AI-powered workplace products (preferred)
