The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Research Executive to join our Devices & Services research practice. In this role, you’ll help solve important strategic business challenges for some of the world’s most influential brands at the intersection of technology, lifestyle, and culture. Through exploratory and strategic research, you’ll generate insights that help clients strengthen their brands, shape marketing strategies, and identify opportunities for future growth.

You’ll contribute to a wide range of initiatives across the full project lifecycle, from research design, analysis, and report delivery. If you’re passionate about qualitative and quantitative research, enjoy visualizing data and uncovering meaningful insights, and are excited by the opportunity to make an impact for globally recognized brands, this could be the opportunity for you.

Your Impact

• Support all phases of quantitative and qualitative research projects, including research design, questionnaire and discussion guide development, fieldwork, data analysis and storytelling.
  • Projects may include methods such as brand studies, messaging/positioning evaluation, market sizing, segmentation and more.
• Help drive quality control processes at each step of the research lifecycle, from checking survey programming logic, questionnaire proofing, number checking and proofing reports and presentations for accuracy.
• Partner with internal and external operations teams (programming, fieldwork, facilities, moderators, data processing) to drive projects forward on stringent timelines.
• Assist with translating data into clear, actionable insights and recommendations through visual, creative and story-driven reports.

Who We're Looking For

• Your degree(s) – 3 year BA/BSc degree in Social Sciences, Psychology, Business, Marketing, Market Research, Statistics, Economics or a related field.
• Prior Experience –At least 2 years of experience in market research or consumer insights preferred, ideally across both quantitative (trackers, custom surveys) and qualitative (focus groups, IDIs, etc.) methods.
• Curiosity and Critical Thinking – You are genuinely interested in seeking information on the “whys,” always digging for more information to understand what makes consumers tick. Whether it’s understanding why one marketing message is more effective than another or what consumers think we could be using AI for in the future, you can always find something interesting to sink your teeth into. Simply put, you love to learn.
• Problem Solver – You are a natural problem solver. When something doesn’t go as planned, your first instinct is to look for a solution, rather than viewing it as a roadblock. You’re always on the lookout for new ways to accomplish tasks and have the ability to address issues using creative and collaborative tactics.
• Data Driven – You’re comfortable working with data to identify trends and insights, including both structured (i.e. data and hard numbers) and unstructured (i.e. interviews and qualitative) data. Experience visualizing data with tools such as AI builds, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs and Slides is preferred.
• Self-starter – Internally-motivated who continuously strives to get things done well, regardless of challenges encountered. You are proactive and always keep an eye on the next step.
• Clear and Proactive Communicator – You have excellent written and verbal communication skills and are able to communicate clearly and succinctly. You’re comfortable asking questions and sharing your point of view.
• Keen eye for detail – You notice when font sizes change unexpectedly or a proper noun isn’t capitalized. Errors don’t get past you and you are always focused on ensuring high levels of quality control and reporting.
• Expert multitasker – Successfully manages time and multiple competing priorities to ensure deadlines are always met. Staying organised is a must for managing projects!
• Great Team Member – Team player who works collaboratively and harmoniously within a team and across teams. You are comfortable forming connections with colleagues remotely whether that be jumping on a quick video meeting, picking up the phone for a call or chatting with them through IMs. You welcome feedback because you have a zest for learning and growing. You will roll up your sleeves to help get the job done and no task is beneath you.
• Passion – A passion or desire to learn about technology and/or lifestyle sectors. You enjoy or are excited by the prospect of staying up to date on industry trends and developments.
• AI-curious and capable – You have experience using AI tools and are thoughtful about how AI can enhance—not replace—insight work.
• Data analysis techniques and software – Familiarity with any of the following data analysis techniques would be awesome: statistical significance testing, correlation analysis, multivariate analysis techniques (such as cluster/segmentation analysis) and conjoint and discrete choice analysis. Experience with statistical packages, like SPSS or Q, are a plus.
