• Strong research capabilities: interviewing, testing, synthesis, and insight communication
• Confidence in turning qualitative data into structured journeys and clear next steps
• Comfortable guiding sessions with stakeholders and presenting findings
• Skilled at navigating feedback and collaborating across disciplines
• Able to operate independently inside a client team while staying connected to Dentsu Creative

• Be part of multidisciplinary teams where research, design, product, and tech work closely together
• Stay connected to Dentsu Creative’s design community through mentorship, open knowledge-sharing, and quarterly inspiration sessions exploring new tools, methods, and ways of working
