Research Manager

About the Company

: Qrious is a leading behavioral data intelligence start up specializing in analyzing and delivering insights from passively collected behavioral data, including app usage, website visits, search activity, and in-app behaviors like shopping and advertising exposures. As part of our growing team, you’ll be working with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions to gain powerful insights into consumer behavior.

About the Role

: We are seeking a Research Manager with 4–10 years of experience in marketing research or consumer insights to join our growing team. In this role, you will lead end-to-end project execution, from initial scoping through final delivery, while serving as a key point of contact for clients. You will play an active role in shaping project scope and be responsible for ensuring that all workstreams run smoothly, insights are clearly articulated, and deliverables meet a high standard of quality and professionalism. This role is focused on turning complex data into clear, compelling, client-ready insights. You will lead the development of reports and presentations, shape the narrative behind the data, and ensure outputs are polished, actionable, and aligned with client needs. While a strong foundation in quantitative research is required, this role is less focused on advanced statistical modeling and more focused on insight development, storytelling, and communication. This role requires hands-on experience delivering insights in commercial, client-facing environments, ideally within CPG, retail, or related industries. Experience in purely academic or government research environments is not a fit for this position.
