Insights Analyst/Senior Research Analyst

Norwalk, CT 06853

Posted: 09/11/2026 Category: Market Research Job Number: 23993 Salary: 80,000

Job Description

Title: Insights Analyst / Senior Insights Analyst
Location: 2 days in office, Norwalk CT 
Compensation: $80,000–$110,000 base
Contact: Lindsey Bartlett | lbartlett@smithhanley.com

A boutique market research and consulting firm is looking to add two researchers to its growing team. These roles are ideal for early-career market researchers who want broad exposure, meaningful client interaction, and the opportunity to develop across both qualitative and quantitative research.

The firm works primarily with pharma / life sciences clients, with a growing portfolio of sustainability and environmental work. Unlike larger organizations where researchers can get siloed into one piece of the process, you’ll have exposure to projects from initial research design through analysis, reporting, and client delivery.

What You’ll Do
  • Support qualitative and quantitative research projects from kickoff through delivery
  • Help develop surveys, discussion guides, and other research materials
  • Coordinate fieldwork, vendors, timelines, and project logistics
  • Analyze data and identify meaningful themes, trends, and insights
  • Build reports and presentations that tell a clear story
  • Participate in client meetings, presentations, and working sessions
  • Partner closely with senior researchers and consultants
  • Manage multiple studies and priorities at once
 
What They’re Looking For
  • 2–5 years of primary market research experience
  • Agency or research consulting experience strongly preferred
  • Exposure to both qualitative and quantitative methodologies
  • Strong analytical, writing, and storytelling skills
  • Comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines
  • Detail-oriented while keeping the bigger business question in mind
  • Curious, collaborative, and eager to continue developing as a researcher
  • Pharma / healthcare experience is a plus, but not required
  • Survey development, analysis, or qualitative moderation experience is a plus
 
Culture & Environment
  • Collaborative, smart, and ego-free
  • Small-team environment with meaningful senior-level exposure
  • Everyone contributes to client work
  • Fast decision-making with minimal layers
  • Modern, open “think tank” office environment
  • Real work-life balance with predictable busy periods
 
Compensation & Benefits
  • $80K–$110K base + discretionary bonus
  • Competitive benefits including medical, 401(k) match, PTO, and parental leave
  • Annual fully expensed company retreat (+1 included)
 
Hybrid requirement: In-office 2 days/week (Mon/Weds) in Connecticut, within commuting distance of NYC, is required.
