GALE is adding a Consumer Insights Manager for our in-house primary consumer and customer experience research team! The ideal candidate has the curiosity and analytical rigor of a management consultant combined with know-how and love of primary research techniques (surveys, IDIs, focus groups, immersion/observation). You will play an active role in the design and delivery of quantitative and qualitative primary research, plus translation of results to impactful insights that drive clients’ business decisions. You will be a key member of a small-but-mighty team within the agency and have the opportunity to influence the direction of growth for GALE’s in-house Research function.
The ideal candidate has first-hand experience delivering end-to-end primary research projects. Starting from intake of an ambiguous business question, scripting it into concrete interview or survey questions and managing collection of qualified responses. They are able to analyze results, and distill into a crisp storyline of takeaways to package in a visually compelling presentation. They have the confidence to guide senior colleagues on research approaches and the poise to present findings to executive-level clients of both Fortune 100 companies and venture-funded start-ups. They appreciate that smart insights require time and thought and that client timelines require agility and fast turnarounds, and rise to this challenge!
