Insights Strategist

TL;DR: We’re hiring our first Insight Strategist in Austin to help our customers unlock the full value of Listen Labs. You’ll partner directly with product, research, and marketing leaders at some of the world’s most innovative companies to translate data into decisions.

Background

Listen Labs is the world's fastest AI research platform, built so every company can understand what their customers want, why, and what to do about it. Our AI conducts in-depth interviews, analyzes conversations, and delivers executive-ready insights in hours, not weeks. Born out of a Harvard research project, Listen is trusted by teams at leading brands like Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Perplexity, Sweetgreen, Replit, and Nestlé to bring real customer voices into their biggest product, marketing, and growth decisions.

Company highlights:

• World-Class Team: Founded by serial entrepreneurs — Alfred (Bemlo, YC W22) and Florian (IOI medalist, ICPC World Finalist) — and built with talent from Google, Meta, Tesla, Amazon, Jane Street, and X, alongside Bain, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and Sequoia-backed startups like Applied Intuition, Scale AI, and Rippling. Over 30% of our team are former founders, and multiple are competitive programming medalists.

• Hypergrowth: Since launching, Listen has grown annualized revenue 15x and completed over 2 million interviews — backed by $100M in total funding led by Ribbit Capital, with Sequoia, Conviction, and Pear VC participating.

• Traction: Already serving 15% of Fortune 100s. Enterprise wins and expansions across Anthropic, Microsoft, Nestlé, Perplexity, Sweetgreen, and more — with teams telling us research that used to take six to eight weeks now happens in days.

What You’ll Do

• Build trusted relationships with product, research, and insights leaders — helping them connect the dots between customer feedback and business strategy.

• Lead onboarding and training sessions to ensure customers quickly understand and adopt the platform.

• Analyze qualitative and quantitative data, distill patterns, and create insight briefs, dashboards, and presentations that drive action.

• Serve as a strategic partner — proactively identifying opportunities to deepen usage, expand to new teams, and shape how customers measure success.

• Collaborate with internal teams (Product, Engineering, Sales) to champion the customer perspective and influence roadmap priorities.

• Move fast — balancing high-quality craft with rapid iteration and experimentation.

Who You Are

• 3 to 6+ years of experience in client-facing insights, strategy, research, or customer success roles.

• Skilled at analyzing data and telling stories that inspire action — from dashboards to decks.

• Comfortable working across qualitative and quantitative inputs to uncover patterns and recommend next steps.

• Strong communicator who can simplify complex ideas and engage both executives and practitioners.

• Curious, analytical, and relentlessly focused on helping customers succeed.

• Thrives in ambiguity and fast-changing environments — no passengers, no politics.
