Job Description

About the Position

Dynamic, client-engaged primary market research and strategic planning consultancy is seeking a market researcher to work with our national portfolio of clients. We are willing to consider and pay appropriately qualified candidates with 0-5 years of relevant experience. This is an opportunity for you to either define or enhance your career in market research.

Work Environment

Our work is in-depth, interesting, and highly customized to strategic client issues. Our client relationships are strong and enduring. Our team is tight and collaborative. We care deeply about the work and support each other, and we laugh a lot while we do both. This is a position that will enable you to grow professionally, as we have a broad mix of US clients across many goods and services sectors. We firmly support a culture of growth and development among our staff and provide both on-the-job as well as external training opportunities. On any given day, you will be actively engaged in 3-6 different projects across a range of clients. Direct client interactions are integral and regular. This variety and pacing make for interesting, active days.

Responsibilities and Skill Requirements

We do not conduct secondary or syndicated studies—all of our primary research projects stem from a client challenge or problem. For each project, our team develops a methodology, fields primary research with customers or prospects, analyzes the findings, and then reports out to clients with key learnings, implications, and suggested solutions. You will be an integral part of that team. We are not a research supplier of “productionized” reports, so to love this position you must enjoy collaborative, hands-on work and the process of “translating” data into cogent conclusions and insightful, actionable recommendations.

Key skill requirements for this position:

· Basic business acumen

· Excellent listening and organizational skills

· Strong written and oral communication skills

· A curious brain that loves to solve puzzles

· Knowledge or coursework that includes at least an introduction to both qualitative and quantitative research techniques

· Track record of “self-directed” learning beyond basic employer training

· High proficiency in Windows OS and Microsoft Office

Elements that will make you stand out from other candidates:

· Ability to make PowerPoint decks less painful for audiences

· Experience with statistical software such as SPSS

· Experience with web survey software such as Qualtrics or Voxco

· Coursework or experience with basic statistical techniques (e.g., regression, t-tests, difference of proportions, etc.)

· HTML, CCS, Javascript, or any structured programming experience

· Knowledge/certification in "big data" or web analytics

· Interviewing or group discussion moderating experience in any context

Educational Requirements

We will consider candidates across a broad range of liberal arts, social science, or business-related degrees.

Salary and Benefits

Salary range: $55,000 to $80,000 based on education and experience, plus profit-sharing and fully employer-paid insurance (medical/optical/dental plus short- and long-term disability)

How to Apply

To be considered for this position, please upload a single pdf that includes both a detailed cover letter (that spells out why you think you would be an excellent fit with this position) as well as your resume. Resume submissions without a cover letter will not be considered.
