Descripción del empleo

YouGov is building its custom research capability across Latin America, with a regional research team based in Mexico City and serving clients across the region, particularly Mexico and Brazil.

We are looking for a Research Executive to join that team and work closely with the Research Manager, our commercial teams and colleagues across YouGov.

This is a hands‑on opportunity for someone looking to build a career in market research and consumer insights while helping shape a growing regional capability across Latin America. As a Research Executive, you will support custom research projects end-to-end, from questionnaire development and fieldwork through data analysis, reporting and presentation, working across different clients, industries and LATAM markets.

You will collaborate with experienced researchers and colleagues across Mexico, Brazil and the wider Americas organization, as well as YouGov’s global research, panel, operations, product and data teams. Along the way, you will develop experience using YouGov’s proprietary panels, syndicated products and other data assets alongside custom research, while helping ensure our work reflects both YouGov’s research standards and the language, culture and market realities of each country.

This is an opportunity to join the capability at an early stage, with increasing responsibility as your skills and experience develop, while contributing ideas, sharing learnings and helping build better and more efficient ways of working across the region. We are looking for someone who is curious, analytical and comfortable working with data, with an interest not only in what the numbers say, but what they mean.

• - Help turn research findings into clear conclusions and useful client-facing stories.

Project Delivery

• - Work closely with the Research Manager throughout the research process, from initial brief through final delivery.


• - Help coordinate project timelines, deliverables and communication with internal teams.


• - Work with YouGov's panel, operations and other research teams to ensure projects are delivered accurately and on time.


• - Support multi-country studies involving different Latin American markets.


• - Help coordinate translations and local-market adaptations of questionnaires and other research materials.

• - Participate in client meetings and presentations as appropriate.


• - Help prepare analysis and materials for client workshops and presentations.
