- Study materials design for both quantitative and qualitative research projects;
- Collaboration with our operations team to ensure a smooth fieldwork process for your projects;
- Data quality control, analysis, and reporting;
- Acting as the primary client liaison and project manager throughout the length of your projects;

- Small team in a large company: We capture the best of both worlds: we are a small, friendly, approachable team with a flat hierarchy; and we are also part of the large M3 family and have access to the full suite of M3 resources.
- Compensation: M3’s compensation package and benefits are highly competitive and can be flexed based on a candidate’s experience.
