Job summary

Aaru is seeking a Simulation Architect to lead the methodological discovery and design of simulations that anchor proofs of concept in sales and delivery. You will stand behind accuracy and validation frameworks used by senior buyers to defend their decisions, partnering with sales, deployment, and product teams.

You will guide audience construction and evaluation standards, ensuring credible comparisons to traditional methods while shaping Aaru's public methodological voice and industry

Qualifications

• 7+ years in consumer insights or market research with quantitative depth.
• Personally designed and defended research methodology to senior stakeholders.
• Statistically fluent with distributions, confidence, bias, and validity.

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 and evaluation standards.
• Design and interpret proof of concept evaluations, including validation against a prospect's own 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 with narratives and validation records.
• 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 feedback channel into product and research, translating methodological objections into platform priorities.
• Contribute to Aaru's public methodological voice: accuracy frameworks, validation publications, and industry conversations
