Job Description

 

Title: Research Manager
Location: Remote, US | Ability to work roughly Pacific Time hours
Compensation: $70,000–$100,000 base
Contact: Lindsey Bartlett | lbartlett@smithhanley.com

This is definitely not your typical market research role.

I’m partnering with a small, established and growing research consultancy doing something pretty unique: using survey research and insights to help inform strategy around high-stakes litigation.
After more than a decade of building a successful founder-led business, they’re entering their next phase of growth and hiring their first full-time research team member.
This person will work directly alongside the founder and own research engagements from intake through final delivery. It’s a great opportunity for someone who likes being hands-on across the entire research process and gets excited about helping build and improve how the work gets done.

What You'll Do
  • Own multiple research projects from kickoff through final delivery
  • Manage timelines, deliverables, vendors and all the moving pieces in between
  • Help develop and refine survey questions
  • Program and launch online surveys
  • Review, clean and analyze survey data
  • Identify meaningful findings and help translate them into clear client stories
  • Build polished reports and presentations
  • Participate in client conversations and learn the litigation side of the business
  • Help improve internal processes and bring more research capabilities in-house
  • Explore ways AI and new technology can make the research process smarter and more efficient
What We're Looking For
This could be a great fit for someone with 3+ years of experience within market research, consumer insights, survey research or a related consulting environment.
Ideally, you bring:
  • Strong quantitative / survey research fundamentals
  • Experience managing multiple projects and deadlines
  • Experience writing and/or programming surveys
  • Interest in working within litigation space
  • Comfort analyzing survey data in Excel or Google Sheets
