We’re on a mission to scale and democratize world-class research. From survey generation to stakeholder-ready reports, our platform is redefining how insights teams operate — and we need your help to push the limits of what’s possible.

You’ll join a team that’s building something category-defining and help shape how some of the world’s most respected brands uncover and activate insights through AI-native research. This is a hands-on leadership role for a builder who thrives at the intersection of experimentation and execution—leveraging modern growth tooling (including AI and automation) and scaling what works as Knit grows.
