Who We Are Looking For:

While we may have a wish list, we are always open to looking at different profiles for our roles, so please don’t hesitate to apply even if your experience does not check all of the boxes. We believe there is no one perfect resume for a role, but there is a perfect candidate for us, and that could be you.

• Commercially-Minded: You have a demonstrated talent for abstract thinking, spotting trends and patterns, an instinct for commercial opportunities, and a nuanced understanding of consumer insights are critical.
• A Storyteller: You are a lateral thinker, an intuitive dot-connector, and have experience weaving compelling narratives out of disparate facts across a wide range of categories. 
• Data-Driven: You have a solid familiarity with most forms of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and working knowledge of when and how to apply them to a given client challenge. You should have expertise working with complex data sets, including econometrics, statistics, consumer surveys, and syndicated sales data, such as IRI or Nielsen. Experience with Business Intelligence and collaboration tools such as Tableau, Looker, Jira, Miro, etc. would be a plus.
• Naturally Curious: You are always drawn to knowing the “why” behind things and are great at navigating client conversations, asking second and third-level questions to get at the heart of clients’ challenges and goals.
• An Influencer: You have experience with brand strategy, innovation, or creative workshops and the energy, intellect, humility, and passion that draws people to want to learn more from you.
• A Great Communicator: You can visualize strategic thought in evocative and engaging presentations, delivered with confidence and authority, and can adapt your communication style to suit each client and internal business partner. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English are critical.
• A Collaborator: You take pride in the team you are a part of and the work you produce. Cultivating professional relationships with your colleagues is important and you are constantly finding innovative and unique ways to create an exceptional work environment.
