Hands-on experience across quantitative and qualitative research methods, including questionnaire and discussion guide design, project management, data analysis and visualization, report writing, market research software, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a client-service orientation and the ability to build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues.
An analytical, entrepreneurial mindset with strong logic, reasoning, numeric, and problem-solving skills, plus curiosity about new technologies and research approaches.
Excellent organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple projects, shifting priorities, and timelines while maintaining high-quality work.
A positive and collaborative leadership approach, with a genuine passion for coaching and mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to the broader business.
Nice to have
Supplier-side market research experience and exposure to sophisticated quantitative and qualitative methodologies, online research platforms, and technology-enabled research approaches.
