Title:Â Head of User Research and Customer Excellence
Location:Â Lagos (Remote)
Employment Type: Full-time
Role Overview
- As Head of User Research & Customer Excellence, you will own our research and feedback strategy across squads.
- This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who blends qualitative intuition with data fluency and can proactively identify opportunities to improve customer outcomes, not just react to requests.
- You will launch our NPS program, build a scalable insight engine, and partner closely with Product, Ops, and Engineering to embed research into how we build.
Key Responsibilities
Research Strategy & Execution:
- Build and lead FairMoney’s research function, supporting product squads across lending, savings, cards, and more.
- Own the research calendar — balancing ad hoc squad needs with proactive discovery that anticipates user challenges.
- Design and execute high-impact customer interviews, surveys, and field studies.
Customer Feedback Systems:
- Design, launch, and own NPS by squad, starting manually and progressively automating it through product and engineering collaboration.
- Define success metrics, build reporting rituals, and ensure outputs are actionable and visible across the company.
- Continuously evolve our feedback infrastructure (e.g. CSAT, churn interviews, complaint audits) to drive roadmap influence.
Quantitative Insight Discovery:
- Dive into customer data using SQL and support analytics tools (Excel, Looker, Tableau, etc.) to extract actionable insight.
- Identify under-the-surface problems (drop-off points, dissatisfaction trends, operational failure loops) without waiting for prompts.
- Help define and standardise metrics that reflect real customer experience.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Partner with Product, Ops, Growth, and Support teams to embed insights into the product lifecycle.
- Act as the strategic voice of the customer in roadmap reviews, launch retros, and problem diagnosis.
Team Leadership:
- Build and lead a team of user researchers and insight analysts.
- Set standards for research excellence and storytelling. Mentor team members on methods, data usage, and stakeholder influence.
