They bring both quantitative and qualitative research expertise with the ability to design research instruments, conduct analysis, and create deliverables that tell a persuasive story. In collaboration with the Community and Project teams, they will deliver the right insights leadership to answer key strategic questions and deliver on client needs.
This is a critical position and is ideal for someone with 3-4 years of hands-on, ‘real world’ experience in B2B and B2C research.

The right candidate will be a self-starter with a high degree of comfort working with large volumes of data and know how to conduct advanced statistical analysis using software such as SPSS and MarketSight.
This role will have the support of senior team members to assist with client management and research execution. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of success being “in the trenches” with research and be able to design and analyze research in a fast-paced environment while being flexible and managing multiple priorities.
