Key Responsibilities

• Own social listening projects end-to-end, from understanding client objectives and developing research approaches through execution, analysis, reporting, and presentation.
• Execute social listening research, including developing and refining Boolean queries, extracting and cleaning data, and analyzing conversations, sentiment, themes, and trends.
• Develop and present insight-driven reports and presentations, translating research findings into clear narratives, strategic implications, and actionable recommendations.
• Conduct complementary secondary research, leveraging syndicated data, desk research, and competitive intelligence to enrich and validate findings.
• Manage multiple projects and stakeholders, working independently while collaborating with internal teams and presenting findings to clients.

• Strong analytical and critical‑thinking skills, with a demonstrated ability to move beyond descriptive reporting to meaningful insights and recommendations.
• Excellent written and spoken English, including the ability to interpret nuanced language, develop well‑structured client‑ready reports, and confidently present findings.
• Experience working with B2B clients or complex industries, including the ability to understand unfamiliar technical subjects, terminology, and decision‑making dynamics.
• Experience with secondary research and syndicated data, including tools such as GWI, Statista, Mintel, WARC, or similar sources.
• Strong project management and organizational skills, with a proven ability to manage competing priorities, work proactively, and deliver high‑quality work with limited oversight.
• Proactive problem‑solving, able to anticipate needs, identify issues early, and recommend solutions.
