Job summary

Aaru is seeking a senior market insights professional to lead quantitative research design and validation for AI-driven simulations in Singapore. You will translate complex business questions into robust simulation designs, defend methodologies to senior stakeholders, and partner with Sales and Deployment to ensure delivery accuracy.

You will guide audiences, calibrate models, and articulate validation outcomes while shaping the company’s methodological voice in industry discussions.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in consumer insights or market research with quantitative depth.
• Designed and defended research methodology to senior stakeholders.
• Statistically fluent; reason about distributions, confidence, bias, and validity.
• Able to argue against methods you built your career on without overclaiming.
• Comfortable representing the company in senior client settings, including CMO/C-suite.

Responsibilities

• Own the methodological conversation in the sales process: audience construction, representativeness, response synthesis, calibration, and what confidence in a simulated distribution actually means.
• Translate ambiguous business questions into well-specified simulation designs, including audience definition, stimulus design, and evaluation standards.
• Design and interpret proof of concept evaluations, including validation against a prospect's historical research where available.
• Prosecute the comparison to traditional methods credibly and fairly: where simulation outperforms trackers, surveys, and panels, where it does not yet, and why.
• Equip champions to defend simulation-based decisions internally, producing the methodological narratives, validation records, and boundary statements.
• Partner with Account Executives through the full cycle as the interpretive counterpart to their commercial lead, and with Deployment through handoff so the standard set in the sale is the standard met in delivery
• Serve as a structured feedback channel into product and research, translating methodological objections from the field into platform priorities
• Contribute to Aaru's public methodological voice: accuracy frameworks, validation publications, and industry conversations
