This position offers an exciting opportunity to build your skills in both research and client engagement, making it ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, curious, and motivated by turning complex data into clear, meaningful outcomes.

You will be part of a small, agile team within the Marketing Strategy Group, providing a collaborative and flexible environment where your contributions directly shape client projects. In this role, you will work closely with the Research Product Lead, and other cross-functional teams to support the design, execution, and delivery of both qualitative and quantitative research projects.

• Anticipate internal and external needs related to product services, proactively identifying and implementing solutions to prevent potential issues.
• Participate in client calls and meetings to support the sales and promotion of product services and research offerings.
  
  

• A bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g., marketing, business, or social sciences) or equivalent professional experience.
• 2 years of relevant experience in research, market research, survey research, or consulting.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail.

• Familiarity with survey tools (e.g., Qualtrics, Forsta, or similar)
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
