This is more than a traditional research position. As our Senior Research and Implementation Associate, you’ll take on meaningful ownership and project leadership from day one. You’ll serve as an assistant project manager on complex client engagements and lead simpler projects independently.
You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of industries and research methodologies, building both your technical expertise and project management skills in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
