About the role

• Develop research methodologies from scratch: survey design, sampling strategy, data collection, and statistical analysis

• Identify and craft the data narrative. Work with stakeholders to turn data into a compelling story and narrative that achieves business outcomes

• Collaborate with editorial, digital PR, and SEO strategy to produce research reports that get cited, shared, and covered by industry media

• Create clear, compelling data visualizations that make complex findings accessible to non-technical audiences

• Build and maintain BI dashboards (Looker, GA4) that give clients and internal teams actionable performance insights

• Deliver research insights and data visualization in digestible, understandable, and shareable formats

• Collaborate and consult (20%)

• Partner with SEO strategists, content leads, and clients to identify research questions worth answering

Qualifications

• Experience with web analytics platforms (GA4, Looker, Search Console)
