Stakeholder Whisperer (Hybrid)
Hybrid
Tame wild feature requests and turn “my cousin says…” into research-backed recommendations. Ability to make data-averse execs love research is a plus.
About the Role
At Genway AI, we know the toughest part of research isn’t the users - it’s the stakeholders. That’s why we’re hiring a Stakeholder Whisperer: someone who can tame wild feature requests, soothe panicked executives, and transform “my cousin says…” into actual research-backed insights.
This role requires Jedi-level diplomacy, the patience of a preschool teacher, and the ability to translate HiPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion) into a usable research question. If you’ve ever left a meeting where everyone agreed to opposite things simultaneously - you might just be who we’re looking for.
Responsibilities
Turn vague requests like “Can we just do a quick survey?” into real research plans
Decode executive feedback expressed exclusively in hand gestures and sighs
Politely convince stakeholders that “we don’t need research” is, in fact, incorrect
Translate “I want this button bigger” into “we need to test visual hierarchy”
Keep everyone aligned… even after someone says, “Let’s circle back next quarter”
Deliver insights so irresistible stakeholders actually quote them back to you
Requirements:
7+ years of experience wrangling humans (cowboy background acceptable)
10+ years experience negotiating peace treaties, family drama, or product roadmaps
Fluent in stakeholder languages: “visionary idea” “gut feeling” and “we already know”
Demonstrated ability to nod thoughtfully while disagreeing internally
Experience turning anecdotal evidence into a 50-slide deck (that gets read)
Skilled at predicting which insights will be ignored before presenting them
Bonus: Survived at least one meeting where all stakeholders spoke at once
Compensation
Eternal gratitude from researchers everywhere
An unlimited supply of “As per my last email” templates
The thrill of converting HiPPO opinions into actual data-driven decisions
