About the role

We are seeking an adaptable, detail-oriented Market Research Analyst to join our team during an upcoming high-volume period. In this role, you will serve as a key operational bridge between our Operations, Research, and UX teams, coordinating research activities, supporting project execution, and ensuring insights and deliverables move efficiently from research through to implementation.

This position is ideal for an "all-around player" who understands primary and secondary research, excels at data evaluation, and feels comfortable navigating CX and research platforms. The role is for 6 months with potential extension based on workload demands.

• Serve as a central liaison connecting Operations, UX, and Research teams to align project goals and streamline workflows.
• Execute daily research workstreams, pull routine dataset reports, and validate survey and data outputs using Excel and internal tools.
• Manage competing priorities and switch gears smoothly between different research and operations tasks during high-volume periods.
• Review data critically to ensure accuracy, synthesize findings into clear reports, and share actionable, logical recommendations with stakeholders.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in an analyst role spanning research operations, CX, market research, or UX data validation.
• Strong practical knowledge of primary and secondary research methodologies, survey design, and UX research principles.
• Expert-level skills in Microsoft Excel (data cleanup, formatting, pivot tables, formulas).
• Comfort learning and navigating enterprise research and CX platforms without requiring programming or software development skills.
• Clear, articulate verbal and written communication skills with a knack for presenting dataset insights to diverse teams.
• Outstanding organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to work independently, manage multiple deadlines, and adapt to shifting priorities.

Skills

• Background in Market Research, Customer Experience (CX), or Community Insights Operations (advantageous).
• Experience executing research initiatives or managing tasks within online community platforms or large enterprise environments (advantageous).
