As our Senior Manager, User/Innovation Research, you'll play a strategic role at the heart of product and proposition innovation. You'll serve as the audience expert within a multidisciplinary team, leading the research and learning agenda to ensure the voices, needs and behaviours of both children and adults shape proposition development. Working within the Creative Play Lab, the innovation department of the LEGO Group, you'll partner with colleagues across design, engineering, marketing, analytics and strategy to generate insights, reduce uncertainty and guide innovation decisions before launch.
This is a Senior Manager level Individual Contributor role. This role will be based in our London Hub or Billund Project House. We offer a flexible hybrid working model known as Best of Both, with 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home. No relocation assistance is offered for this position.
If you've worked in a role where you combined primary research, analytics, future trends and insights to shape product or proposition outcomes, you'll feel at home here. What matters most is your ability to connect evidence, develop clear recommendations and help teams make confident decisions.
You'll join the Experimental Research Team within the Creative Play Lab. We're audience and research specialists focused on understanding children and creating future LEGO® play experiences that delight future builders. We work closely across disciplines, sharing learning, experimentation and research to solve complex challenges together. You'll thrive by building strong relationships, communicating insights clearly and helping others use evidence to make informed decisions.
Success means establishing a trusted research agenda, embedding audience understanding into innovation processes and helping teams make stronger proposition decisions. You'll work closely with design, engineering, marketing, analytics, strategy and quantitative research partners, becoming a key voice in how innovation opportunities are explored, assessed and advanced.
Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. However, please note we do amend or withdraw our jobs and reserve the right to do so at any time, including prior to any advertised closing date. So, if you're interested in this role we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
