Job description
About Us
CMB is a full-service custom market research and strategy firm based in Boston. As a Top 25 Insights & Analytics company, we’re known for our relentless business-decision focus and cutting-edge creativity. Our passion is helping the world’s leading brands engage, innovate, and grow. We leverage the best of advanced analytics, consumer psychology, and market strategy to tackle game-changing initiatives and business challenges for our clients.
What about our culture? Simply put, our people are our power. We have a diverse, inclusive and collaborative team of bright perspectives and curious minds. At CMB you’ll have plenty of opportunities to achieve your full potential. From learning new skills, expanding your expertise, and continuing to advance your professional development, you will feel supported and valued.
Our benefits say a lot about how much we value our employees: we offer a fully paid sabbatical, a $250 wellness stipend, paid time off to volunteer, generous medical plans, a 401k match, and more. Every employee also gets to enjoy an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).
ESOP? Yes, we are 100% employee owned! An ESOP is like a qualified retirement plan, similar to a 401k, but you don’t have to make any contributions to participate in the rewards. When we each work hard to provide exceptional service and deliverables to our clients, the positive performance of the company increases the value of our stock and enables the accumulation of wealth for all our employee-owners.
About the Position
Are you ready to advance your career in market research? Our growing team is looking for the next generation of Insights Consultants to work with the world’s leading brands. The Sr. Insights Associate role serves as an opportunity for you to continue expanding on your research knowledge through vendor management, questionnaire development, basic data analysis, production of client-ready deliverables and more.
As a Senior Insights Associate, you will work with a dedicated team of agile researchers focused on providing quick answers to their client’s strategic business questions. The team works with clients to design and field custom quantitative surveys and deliver the results in approximately half the time of our standard projects. In addition, they also consult on advanced analytics, reporting and more. To see what our Accelerate team is up to, check out this video!
This role sits on our Associate Research Team (ART) and supports successful client-project delivery across the company. A structured skills training program is provided which offers introductions and access to Subject Matter Experts throughout CMB. Additionally, every Sr. Insights Associate is assigned a dedicated mentor (an experienced CMB Researcher) and is presented with many opportunities to learn by observing and interacting with team members and clients. This role may be hybrid in Boston, or work remotely in the US.
About You
People say you are detail-oriented, analytical and a valuable team player. You are comfortable taking initiative and you’re driven to get things done, even if it means juggling multiple priorities. You are insatiably curious, always looking to learn more, solve challenges and to share your thoughts with others. These are just a few of the reasons you’re excited to work for a market research company that is established and has a record of success – just like CMB!
