We expect that for the first 6-9 months in role the successful candidate will focus almost exclusively on project delivery. However, over the course of time, we expect that account management may become a greater point of focus.

Delivering market research studies - expected duties and responsibilities:

• As an Associate Director, you will be expected to take full, end-to-end accountability for most studies that you run (though for highly complex studies, we would expect you to team up with a Director or a Senior Director).

• However, you will be fully supported by our full-time internal operations team in preparing for and conducting the actual fieldwork for your quantitative studies. Other members of the research team will also be able to consult you on matters of methodology, or any industry-specific aspects.

Please note: you would likely work on several projects at a time.

Supporting account management and client relationship development - expected duties and responsibilities:

• We expect that, through successful delivery of your research projects, you will be able to build trusting relationships with your clients and act as the key point of contact for repeat studies as well as for new work.
• With time, you will be expected to support a portfolio of clients in this way. You will work with the Senior Director for Business Development, the SVP for Business Intelligence and Research, and other Researchers to support growth in key client accounts.
