Senior Manager, Research & Analytics

The Wonderful Company  | Los Angeles, CA, CA, US

The Senior Manager of Research and Insights will partner with cross-functional teams and work across all avenues of the company to independently drive research projects from start to finish. Research methodologies and projects will vary widely, from strategic work (brand strategy and positioning, new product development, innovation) to tactical initiatives (pricing, taste tests, brand and campaign tracking). As a part of a small, but nimble team, this is a great opportunity for a researcher that’s looking to be a thought leader to internal partners, while also maintaining a close relationship with analyses and having a hand in the data.
