任职要求
【What We’re Looking For】
We represent the company's long-term strategic cognition. We are looking for deep thinkers with high stamina who:
- Go deep, not just wide: You have the patience and rigor to produce definitive research (e.g., comprehensive white papers) that exhausts a topic and becomes the internal "source of truth."
- Solve for the "How" and "Why": You don’t just spot a trend; you deconstruct its underlying unit economics, user psychology, and ecosystem impacts to tell us how to play.
- Think independently: You form independent, evidence-based viewpoints that challenge the consensus and guide leadership through ambiguity.
- Build…工作职责
【The Role】 This role serves as the strategic research backbone for xiaohongshu (rednote). You will help leadership and strategy teams form conviction on where the company should draw its strategic lines — what to lean into, what to avoid, and what to prepare for before decisions become irreversible. Your work goes beyond tracking trends or producing point-in-time analysis. You will lead deep, cumulative research efforts that shape the company’s long-term strategic posture — from defining core strategic bets, to setting guardrails for product and ecosystem evolution, to informing how the organization allocates attention and resources over multi-year horizons. 【Mandate】 Build a durable research foundation that helps the company anticipate structural shifts, develop shared strategic conviction, and establish clear strategic directions and boundaries — especially in moments where the right answer is unclear, contested, or non-obvious. This includes: - Identifying early signals and second-order implications of major industry shifts - Translating deep research into clear strategic narratives that leadership can align around - Providing the analytical backbone for major directional decisions (e.g. platform positioning, content strategy, e-commerce evolution, creator economics, etc.)
