In this role, you will:
- Act as a thought partner to our clients, educating them about every step of the process, while developing trust and building lasting relationships.
- Advise direct reports and share responsibility for their growth and development.
- Lead project activities while achieving excellent financial results.
- Manage data collection, processing, tabulation, analysis, and reporting, and use your findings to translate complexity into compelling stories.
- Strategize at a high level alongside other business leaders.
- Influence and advise business decisions and learn and adapt to ground breaking technologies that drive efficiency.
- Work with the programming, design, data collection, marketing, and data science teams. With an abundance of internal resources, you’ll have the support you need to focus on your areas of expertise.
About you
- You want to grow your career as a manager—maybe you’ve managed a bit in the past and hope to continue building that skill.
- You’ve conducted market research, and your curiosity and determination to dig in to understand an occurrence or observation and draw out rich insights. And you double-check the details.
- You have the passion to experiment outside of your comfort zone, especially when it makes your team stronger and helps you all learn.
- You thrive in collaboration with others and can also self-motivate and self-manage when the job calls for it.

- You know how to foster and create a delightful client experience, and you handle the ups and downs of client work with enthusiasm.
