Key Responsibilities

- Conduct in-depth interviews (IDIs), primarily in healthcare/pharmaceutical
- Build trusted relationships with clients through excellent research and strategic thinking
- Collaborate with internal teams who handle logistics, sample/recruiting, and operational support
- Potentially travel domestically and internationally depending on project needs
- Contribute to business development through great client work and organic relationship building
- Participate in and contribute to the firm’s collaborative, team-based culture
What We’re Looking For
- 6–10+ years of qualitative research experience, ideally including healthcare/pharma
- Skilled moderator — someone who can comfortably interview physicians, patients, caregivers
- Able to manage multiple projects and work independently with minimal oversight
- Strong writer and communicator, able to synthesize insights clearly and strategically
- Comfortable in a flat, non-hierarchical, team-oriented culture
