The ideal candidate will be comfortable managing multiple projects, coordinating with internal teams, and maintaining clear communication with clients throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Project Management:
Take full ownership of market research projects, managing them from the initial client brief through to final delivery. Translate client objectives into actionable research plans, oversee project timelines and deliverables, and coordinate with internal teams to ensure smooth execution. Maintain regular communication with clients, providing updates and addressing any concerns to guarantee timely and accurate project completion.

Research & Questionnaire Development:
Convert client requirements into effective research questions and design surveys or questionnaires aligned with research goals. Develop discussion guides for expert interviews and define target respondent profiles along with screening criteria. Ensure that all questionnaires are structured to yield meaningful and actionable insights.

Primary Research:
Conduct expert interviews with industry professionals and decision-makers, managing quantitative surveys as needed. Employ effective probing techniques during interviews to gather in-depth information.

Analyze datasets ranging from a few hundred to thousands of responses. Clean, structure, and validate data to ensure accuracy.

Reports & Presentations:
Translate research findings into professional, client-ready reports that include executive summaries, key findings, conclusions, and actionable recommendations. Develop compelling PowerPoint presentations that tell a clear story rather than simply presenting data. Present findings confidently to clients when required.
