Sprig is an enterprise survey platform powered by AI agents that helps organizations move from question to evidence faster by transforming how research is designed, fielded, and synthesized. The company combines modern survey infrastructure with specialized agents to accelerate every stage of the research process.
This Research Strategy Lead role sits at the intersection of research, thought leadership, and marketing. You will bring the user research community together, build meaningful relationships with industry leaders, and help establish Sprig as a trusted voice in the research space.
Key responsibilities include:
- Advise and support leading research teams at companies like Microsoft, Figma, Notion, Ramp, DoorDash, Coinbase, Harvey, and Robinhood. Work directly with customers to understand their research practices, workflows, and organizational challenges, applying your expertise to identify gaps and recommend methodologies, use cases, and best practices that make research more impactful, efficient, and scalable.
- Become a trusted voice in the research community by representing Sprig at conferences, panels, webinars, executive roundtables, dinners, meetups, and other industry programs while building authentic relationships with researchers and research leaders.
- Help shape the future of research at Sprig by serving as the in-house research expert, bringing a practitioner's perspective into product strategy and helping build the leading AI-native enterprise research platform.
- Conduct and publish original industry research. Design surveys, interviews, benchmarking studies, and other research that uncover meaningful trends across the research community and turn those findings into reports, articles, presentations, and industry insights.
- Create thought leadership content that researchers actually want to read. Partner with Marketing to develop high-quality content including research reports, articles, playbooks, webinars, social content, and practical resources for research and product teams.
This is not a traditional in-house UX Research role. Instead of owning research for a single product, you'll apply your expertise across multiple innovative companies to help research teams understand how they can improve their programs and identify opportunities to make research more effective and scalable.
Sprig was recently awarded by Fortune as a top 50 best place to work in the US and top 50 place to work in the Bay Area by Built In.

- Strong writing ability; ability to translate expertise into thoughtful, useful content
