Associate Vice President, Research Services

Honolulu

FINN Partners’ Honolulu office is looking for a Associate Vice President for its growing primary research team. The Associate Vice President plays a central role in driving high-impact primary research programs, expanding client relationships, and uncovering strategic business insights. This position blends hands‑on technical expertise across qualitative and quantitative methodologies—from project inception and questionnaire design to advanced data analytics, AI integration, and executive client presentations—with high‑level client management and streamlined team support.

Required

To be considered for this role you will need to be located in Honolulu

You will be expected to be in the office at least 1 day a week and may occasionally be required to work during evenings and weekends, as well as travel overnight. As a Research Services Associate Vice President you will have the opportunity to:

• Oversee and directly execute all phases of qualitative and quantitative market research projects (from proposal to final presentation).
• Identify new business opportunities, designing research proposals, methodologies, scope‑of‑work documents, and client budget forecasts.
• Synthesize large datasets into compelling, client‑ready reports, dashboards, and presentation decks using tools such as PowerPoint, Canva, Displayr, or Tableau.
• Explore, test, and adopt Generative AI models, prompt engineering, and automated analytics tools to streamline qualitative synthesis and data processing.

• Strengthen collaboration between Research Services and FINN Partners’ public relations, marketing, creative, and strategy teams to integrate research insights into broader client programs.

The ideal candidate brings a strong proficiency in either quantitative (survey design, sampling, statistical modeling) or qualitative (focus groups, intercept interviews, thematic coding) research techniques. While mastery of one is required, this role demands hands‑on involvement and oversight across both methodologies. Additionally, they will bring a demonstrated knowledge of (or acute curiosity for) Hawaii’s culture and its impact on business, understanding the role of primary research in marketing and public relations.

Additional Desirable Qualifications Include

• Master’s degree in a relevant discipline.
