Research Strategist/Analyst

Persuadable Research Corporation  | Flint, MI, US

In our company, Solutions Experts work with clients to understand their business needs, design research plans, communicate plans via proposals, work with a team of Research Project Mangers to execute the plans, write final reports, and present findings to clients.
This is not a full-time position, but it is also not part-time. This is project-based, making it less predictable. Because of this, Solutions Experts must be flexible in their availability, especially during the business day (generally 9a to 6p EST). The length and complexity of proposals and projects can be random: some take a few hours while others take weeks.
The nature of market research is cyclical, dependent on marketing budgets and advertising calendars. Our busy or slow seasons are closely tied to these factors, as well. Some weeks a Solutions Expert may work less than 20 hours, while other weeks they may work 40 hours or more. If you have worked in research for a while, this is not a surprise.
While we cannot guarantee a base minimum income, we work hard during busy times when they come, and we try to take advantage of slow times to prepare for the next rush. You will be an employee of Persuadable Research and cannot freelance, consult, or work another research position. We will train you on our processes and the software platforms we utilize, and you will be paid while you train.
At its core, this position involves these responsibilities:
• Partner with clients to understand their business and their objectives
• Lead project-related calls
• Draft proposals in conjunction with the sales team
• Work with the project management team to design questionnaires
• Analyze and interpret survey data
• Design custom reports with compelling charts and visuals that tell a story for each client
• Manage client communication
• Support the sales team, as needed

• Bachelor’s degree
• Minimum 5 years of primary research experience with an agency, research firm, or consultancy
• Solid understanding of survey research design, fielding, analysis, and report writing
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Computer-literate in a Windows environment
• Proficient in Microsoft Office; especially Word, Excel and PowerPoint
• Excellent written communication skills, utilizing good grammar, spelling and punctuation
• Strong, professional oral communication skills, demonstrating the same command of grammar and proper speech.
• Ideally, located in the continental U.S.
Skills that are a plus:
• Moderating experience
• Multilingual
• Tech-savvy

We will provide:
• a laptop

You must provide:
• A quiet, professional space in your home that is set aside for work.
• High-speed cable or fiber optic internet connection that runs to our equipment. (Satellite and DSL do not play well with our technology.)
