Consumer Insights / Market Researcher

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in consumer insights, market research, strategy consulting, social intelligence, cultural insights, or a related research environment.
• Experience independently owning custom research projects from ambiguous briefs through analysis, synthesis, recommendation, and client presentation.
• Strong qualitative and quantitative reasoning. You can work with both nuance and numbers without overstating what the data proves.
• Exceptional PowerPoint or Google Slides craft: storyline, executive writing, information hierarchy, charts, visual examples, and disciplined editing.
• A portfolio of client-ready research decks or case studies that demonstrates synthesis and storytelling, not merely attractive slide design.
• Confident client presence and clear spoken communication, including experience presenting to senior stakeholders and navigating difficult questions.
• Hands-on fluency with modern AI tools for research and creative production. You know how to prompt, critique, verify, refine, and combine outputs into work that does not feel machine-generated.
• High ownership, speed, curiosity, and composure in a startup where priorities can move quickly, and important projects can arrive with short timelines.

You will stand out if you have:

• Experience in beauty, personal care, food and beverage, nutrition, home care, or another consumer category.
• Agency-side experience managing multiple clients and deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Experience with social/video intelligence, digital ethnography, online communities, search, reviews, or creator/influencer data.
• A strong visual instinct and comfort using image-generation or design-assistance tools to make abstract insights tangible.
• Experience leading or mentoring researchers, even if you have not formally managed a large team.
