Job description

About Glean:

Glean is the Work AI platform that helps everyone work smarter with AI. What began as the industry’s most advanced enterprise search has evolved into a full-scale Work AI ecosystem, powering intelligent Search, an AI Assistant, and scalable AI agents on one secure, open platform. With over 100 enterprise SaaS connectors, flexible LLM choice, and robust APIs, Glean gives organizations the infrastructure to govern, scale, and customize AI across their entire business - without vendor lock-in or costly implementation cycles.

At its core, Glean is redefining how enterprises find, use, and act on knowledge. Its Enterprise Graph and Personal Knowledge Graph map the relationships between people, content, and activity, delivering deeply personalized, context-aware responses for every employee. This foundation powers Glean’s agentic capabilities - AI agents that automate real work across teams by accessing the industry’s broadest range of data: enterprise and world, structured and unstructured, historical and real-time. The result: measurable business impact through faster onboarding, hours of productivity gained each week, and smarter, safer decisions at every level.

Recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (Top 10, 2025), by CNBC’s Disruptor 50, Bloomberg’s AI Startups to Watch (2026), Forbes AI 50, and Gartner’s Tech Innovators in Agentic AI, Glean continues to accelerate its global impact. With customers across 50+ industries and 1,000+ employees in more than 25 countries, we’re helping the world’s largest organizations make every employee AI-fluent, and turning the superintelligent enterprise from concept into reality.

If you’re excited to shape how the world works, you’ll help build systems used daily across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, ServiceNow, Zendesk, GitHub, and many more - deeply embedded where people get things done. You’ll ship agentic capabilities on an open, extensible stack, with the craft and care required for enterprise trust, as we bring Work AI to every employee, in every company.

About the Role:

At Glean, our Enterprise and Platform experiences are foundational to our customers' success. We are looking for an experienced Senior User Researcher to focus on our admin persona—the IT leaders, setup admins, and citizen developers who deploy, configure, govern, and expand Glean within their organizations.

As a dedicated researcher for this high-priority investment area, you will play a critical role in removing deployment friction, improving the sandbox and trial experiences, and shaping the future of agent governance and ROI measurement. You’ll collaborate closely with members of our product, design, engineering, and GTM teams to integrate research into roadmaps, drive impact from insights, and ensure admins can unlock and prove Glean's value.

This role is part of our Design team, a tight-knit and collaborative group. This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned researcher who thrives on untangling complex enterprise workflows and helping to grow the team in the future.

You will:

Own high-impact research for the Enterprise & Platform area, focusing on admin, IT, and builder experiences.
Conduct mixed-methods research across the product lifecycle—foundational, generative, evaluative, and post-launch.
Help shape critical product areas including admin onboarding, platform setup, governance and permissions, billing and consumption visibility, and ROI reporting.
Generate actionable insights that improve deployment, rollout confidence, adoption, and long-term customer value.
Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, Data Science, and cross-functional stakeholders to influence roadmap and execution.
Mentor and enable others to run high-quality evaluative research when appropriate.
Use AI tools thoughtfully across the research workflow while maintaining rigor, sound judgment, and high-quality outputs.

About you:

5–7+ years of User Experience Research (UXR) experience, with a proven track record of shaping B2B or enterprise product strategy.
Deep expertise with IT, admin, and builder personas—specifically researching deployment, governance, and configuration in complex software environments.
Strong systems-thinker capable of navigating multi-stakeholder ecosystems (buyers, admins, end-users, security) to balance competing needs and risk thresholds.
End-to-end impact—ability to connect research on ROI, time-to-value, and adoption directly to shipped product decisions alongside PM, Design, and Engineering.
Mastery of qualitative methods (contextual inquiry, journey mapping, JTBD) combined with strong quantitative research skills (survey design, statistical literacy, and triangulation with behavioral product data).
Self-directed and scrappy—comfortable scoping, recruiting, and driving research independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Nice-to-haves:
- Working knowledge of SQL or a scripting language such as Python or R for exploratory analysis.
- Experience with enterprise security, compliance, or governance research, including developer tools, APIs, platform products, or technical setup workflows.
- Familiarity with enterprise APIs, MCP, connectors, or integration architecture.
- Background in productivity tools, collaboration software, or knowledge management.
- Applied AI proficiency: hands-on experience using AI tools across the research lifecycle, with strong judgment about rigor, bias, and reliability.
