Are you a quant researcher who loves turning complex data into sharp, story-driven insights? Looking to work on high-impact B2B projects with some of the biggest names in tech?

We're seeking an experienced Research Manager or Senior Research Manager to lead bespoke quantitative projects (with some qualitative aspects), from proposal to presentation.

• Comfortable leading client calls and crafting compelling narratives
• Proficiency with tools like Excel, PowerPoint, and an interest in AI tools is a bonus
• Consultative mindset and storytelling skills
