This role will have the support of senior team members to assist with client management, strategy development, and day-to-day client interaction/account management.

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. We’re looking for someone with a high motor and a high ceiling who can grow into increasing levels of responsibility over time through outstanding performance.

  • Ability to perform at a high level and multi-task in a very fast-paced environment.
  • Proven experience and a natural ability to “connect the dots” and drive toward big picture insights.
  • Knowledge of how to use statistical analysis programs (excel, SPSS, MarketSight, R, Q, etc.).
