Job description

We run live research engagements for some of India's biggest consumer brands. That means real briefs, real deadlines, and real client expectations - not simulated exercises.

We're looking for someone who can dig into messy data, make sense of it, and turn it into something a brand team can actually act on. Not file it. Not describe it. Act on it.

What you'll actually do

Analysis and synthesis

• Work across conversation data, search trends, transcripts, and performance metrics — often all at once, often with gaps
• Pull signal from noise: what's the pattern, what does it mean, what should the brand do about it
• Build frameworks that make messy inputs legible — not just organized, actually useful

Output and communication

• Support client-ready slides, insight tables, and reports — the kind that go to insights heads and brand leads
• Translate ambiguous, multi-source inputs into a clean, confident narrative - Spot the trend or whitespace opportunity that isn't obvious in the data — and say so clearly

Who we think this is for

Your background matters less than how you think. You could be finishing a degree in economics, psychology, design, or engineering — we care more about what you've built or figured out than what you've studied.

You probably:

• Have done some real analysis — internship, academic project, freelance work — and can talk about what you actually found, not just what you did - Are comfortable in Excel or Google Sheets: pivot tables, growth rates, % splits feel like tools, not obstacles
• Write well. Not elegantly — clearly. A well-structured point is worth more than clever phrasing
• Get restless when data sits uninterpreted. You want to know what it means - Can bucket chaos into a clean framework under time pressure

Even better if you have:

• Prior experience at a research, consulting, strategy, or analytics firm - Exposure to consumer research, brand strategy, or market intelligence - Built a deck or report for an external audience — and had to defend your point of view
• This role is probably not for you if:
• You need clear scope and a fully defined task to get started
• You'd rather describe the data than say what it means
• You're looking for something light alongside college — this is a full-time engagement from week one

What you get

• Live client work from week one — real briefs, real outputs, real feedback - Exposure to how India's top consumer brands actually make research decisions.
• A steep, fast learning curve in consumer intelligence and strategic thinking
• Direct mentorship from senior analysts who will tell you when your thinking is sharp and when it isn't

About Consuma

We're an AI-powered consumer research platform helping brands go from brief to report in minutes — making research faster, simpler, and more human. We've raised $1.3M, led by Equirus, with backing from Abhishek Goyal (Tracxn), Varun Mayya (Aeos Labs), Biswa Kalyan Rath, and other operators from India's tech ecosystem.

We're an in-person team in Bengaluru. We value clarity, craft, and initiative — and the kind of person who treats the work like it has their name on it.
