Role Overview

Market Researchers play an integral role in developing our market insights through primary research. The core responsibility of the Market Researcher is to conduct phone-based, structured interviews with market participants and industry experts to gain insight into the key players, competitive landscape, and market dynamics. All primary research is conducted over the phone, and the majority of our studies involve calling respondents at their place of business to gain their perspective on their industry and gather both quantitative and qualitative data. Researchers also write up their interviews, and those inputs are directly used in client presentations and deliverables; this research helps business professionals make better investment and strategic decisions. The research center operates out of a separately branded entity to protect the confidentiality of our clients' deals.

Researchers work on teams of 3-5 in a collaborative effort to provide our clients with the best possible market insights.
