Research Strategist
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we need to map content.
We have:
- About Us (company description) maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is company description. Could be considered "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have sections:
- Summary (description of role). Could be "About the role" or maybe "Summary". But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can use About the role
for the summary paragraph.
- Essential Duties & Responsibilities -> Responsibilities
with list.
- Education & Experience -> could be Qualifications
or Requirements
. They have both Education & Experience and also list of skills etc. Could combine into Qualifications.
- Travel Requirements -> maybe part of Schedule? Not exactly. Travel up to 25% could be a note under Responsibilities or separate. Since they said include Schedule only if posting actually states schedule. They have hybrid schedule: "generally requiring work in-office and/or show site 2-3 days per week." That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule
with that sentence.
- What We Offer -> benefits: list of benefits and salary range, bonus. So we can have Benefits
with list of benefits, and maybe Pay
for salary range and bonus. But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Benefits and Pay into one Benefits section? But they said include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range and bonus. Could make separate Pay section. However "prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to have Benefits section that includes both benefits and pay info. But they gave example headings including Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It's okay to have both if content is substantive. But we need to avoid thin sections. Benefits list is substantive; Pay info is also substantive but short. Could combine.
We also have "Diversity Commitment" and EEO boilerplate which we should remove. Also remove "About Us" maybe we keep as part of About the role? Actually About Us is company description, not role. Could we include a short paragraph about company under About the role? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. About Us is not minor metadata; it's company overview. Could be included as a paragraph under About the role or maybe we could have a heading "About the Company"? Not in allowed headings. But we could incorporate it into About the role section as preamble. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from About Us, Summary, Responsibilities, Education & Experience, Travel Requirements, What We Offer (benefits, salary, bonus), maybe also note about hybrid schedule. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we remove Diversity Commitment and EEO paragraph. Also remove "#TFCBrand" maybe. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
About the role
[combined About Us + Summary]
ThenResponsibilities
- ... each duty
Qualifications
[Education & Experience bullet points? They are paragraphs with multiple sentences. We could keep as
but preserve details. Could also break into
- but not required. We'll keep as
- Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance ... etc plus Salary range $90,000- $120,000 based upon experience, Eligible for an annual bonus of up to 5% of the base salary.
- Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
- Tuition Reimbursement
- Paid Parental Leave
- Life, Accident and Disability
- Retirement with Company Match
- Paid Time Off
- .
Now Qualifications: from "Education & Experience". Paragraph includes multiple sentences. We'll keep as
preserving all details. Education & Experience text: "Bachelor’s Degree (Business, Management, Economics, Statistics or related field preferred).2+ years of management consulting experience, applied market research, or an insights consultancy3-5 years of professional experience in research, insights or strategy consultingStrong observation, analytical, and business acumen skills and demonstrated ability for abstract thoughtExperience building slide-based client deliverables (e.g., situation-complication-resolution frameworks) for senior stakeholders with clear logic and a compelling narrativeExperience with research design and methodology, including survey instrument design, sampling approaches, qualitative interviewing, and statistical or segmentation analysis (Qualtrics, SPSS, R, or similar a plus)Strong sense of personal organization — you know how to prioritize and keep yourself on track, even when juggling multiple projects in a fast-moving environmentExceptional proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, as well as demonstrated understanding of AI tools to improve efficiency and provide input into analysis and work productsAbility to demonstrate critical thinking, use of logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problemsDemonstrated drive to perform and deliver results including comfort moving fluidly between rigorous research work and fast-turnaround, ambiguous consulting engagements.Maintains a high level of interest, enthusiasm and personal focus.

with sentences. Then
Schedule
Hybrid schedule: generally requiring work in-office and/or show site 2-3 days per week. Travel up to 25%.
ThenBenefits and Pay
The Freeman Company provides benefits that aim to empower our people and their families to thrive mentally, physically, and financially. These are a handful of the types of programs and benefits our full-time people may be eligible for. There may be some variances in specific benefits across regions.
Salary range of $90,000- $120,000 based upon experience. Eligible for an annual bonus of up to 5% of the base salary.
That seems good. Now we need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Diversity Commitment". Remove. Now produce only HTML fragment. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine About Us and Summary. About Us: "The Freeman Company is a global leader in events, on a mission to redefine live for a new era. With a data-driven approach and the industry’s largest network of experts, The Freeman Company's insights shape exhibitions, exhibits, and events that drive audiences to action. The integrated full-service solutions leverage a 99-year legacy in event management as well as new technologies to deliver moments that matter." Summary: "This is a business strategy role with research at its core, not a marketing research function or an independent research role. The research strategist role exists to drive client decisions inside fast-moving consulting engagements. Our Strategy & Insights practice lives at the intersection of consulting rigor and the fast-moving world of live events and we're in the middle of building something genuinely new. We partner with in-person event organizers across the full strategic spectrum: helping thriving events optimize and grow and guiding struggling ones through meaningful turnarounds. What makes this moment special is that we're actively evolving into a high-performing consulting practice, and we're hiring a Research Strategist to join a fast-growing team: someone ready to bring strong research skills alongside consulting fundamentals to help us scale our Event Strategy and Profitable Growth capabilities, support client engagements, shape how we work, and elevate those around them. If you're looking for a role where you can grow fast, contribute to something being built in real time, and see your impact on both clients and a team still taking shape, this is where that happens. You will work directly with executive-level event organizers to drive community engagement and profitable revenue through in-person and online events. We're especially excited about candidates who bring rigorous research skills, consulting fundamentals, and a passion for problem-solving and innovation. This position will support our Growth team. It is eligible to work a hybrid schedule, generally requiring work in-office and/or show site 2-3 days per week. The ideal candidate will be based out of any of the following locations: Dallas, TXAnaheim, CADenver, COOrlando, FLAtlanta, GAChicago, ILMcCook, ILLas Vegas, NVNew Orleans, LANashville, TNSan Antonio, TXAlexandria, VAKearny, NJ" Note: The locations list is weirdly concatenated without spaces. We need to preserve as is? It's part of the posting. We'll keep exactly as given: "Dallas, TXAnaheim, CADenver, COOrlando, FLAtlanta, GAChicago, ILMcCook, ILLas Vegas, NVNew Orleans, LANashville, TNSan Antonio, TXAlexandria, VAKearny, NJ". Might be missing spaces but we preserve. We could maybe add spaces for readability but that would be altering content. Better to keep as is. Now Responsibilities list: need to extract each duty from "Essential Duties & Responsibilities". The paragraph includes multiple sentences separated by line breaks? Let's list them: - Work across multiple project types and industry research to identify opportunities, use structured problem solving and hypothesis-driven analysis to help clients create new value in the event industry - Design and field research that produces insights and decision support data, including primary research (surveys, interviews, focus groups) as well as organize and analyze qualitative and quantitative data (financial and operational) and partner with others to create compelling executive client presentations with clear steps for action - Conduct qualitative research including field observation and stakeholder interviews at industry events to identify improvement opportunities that drive new revenue growth for clients - Design research methodologies and instruments (survey design, sampling approach, interview guides) suited to each client's strategic question or challenge - Support development of strategic growth frameworks leveraging data-driven tools, quantitative analysis and critical thinking - Collaborate with others across Strategy & Insights and Freeman to develop new approaches and frameworks to advance the events industry - Build and maintain client communication and foster client relationships - Demonstrate a client-centric approach on all strategy and research engagements - Work across the Strategy and Insights team to lead the industry in thought leadership, growth and profitability strategies, and identify opportunities to foster engagement, commerce, learning and professional growth at in-person and online events We'll put each as
