About Maze

Maze is a Series B-funded startup building the future of product research for modern teams. We're backed by some of the world's best funds and are a fully remote team working across 35+ countries.

Maze is the user research platform that empowers any company to build the right products faster, by making user insights available at the speed of product development.

We believe that companies that win are incorporating user insights at every stage of product development, where the organization is empowered to conduct research no matter what their maturity, and that Research can focus on high-value questions with the greatest impact.

Built for ease of use, Maze allows researchers, designers, and product managers to collect and share user insights when needed most, putting them at the center of every decision.

With Maze, companies can recruit the right participants effortlessly, conduct research autonomously, and analyze user insights that drive actual decisions.

About the Role

We are looking to build out our Business Strategy & Operations (BizOps) team. The mission of the BizOps team is to help Maze grow faster and run better. To achieve this, we use deep analytical work, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration to help the leadership team make the right decisions.

Inclusivity and Pay

At Maze, we are dedicated to building an equitable, inclusive, and authentic workspace. Unique and diverse perspectives are welcomed, and continuous growth is encouraged. We believe that people are more than their resumes, so if your past experience looks different than the criteria listed, we'd still love to hear from you. We appreciate and celebrate non-traditional life routes and encourage you to apply should you connect with a job description or the Maze culture.

Maze values transparency and it enables us to approach compensation equitably across the world. We are informed by data and regularly check our salary ranges (either United States or Rest of World) against other venture backed companies. Additionally, we are proud of our holistic and generous benefits offerings, included in every compensation package.

We typically target the low - mid point of the salary range to allow room for growth within the role. Your salary is dependent upon many factors, including years of experience, expertise, etc. During your first interview, you can expect to have an open conversation with your recruiter regarding your compensation expectations.

Why Maze is unique

• Early-stage startup: You will join an early-stage startup with less than 150 team members. This means you'll have the unique opportunity to directly impact success and help shape the future of Maze.

• Market disruption: We believe that the way companies build products is fundamentally broken and the user research market is ripe for disruption. For too long, companies have been forced to choose between rapid development without user insights or investing months into research before bringing products to market. But there's finally a groundswell building around a path forward that eliminates this compromise - and Maze is leading the charge.

• Product-market Fit: Maze is used by 100,000+ brands across 4,000 companies, from SMB to enterprises, and in the last fiscal year, we saw 6.5M questions answered, supporting 25K decisions
