Los Angeles

FULL TIME

November 19, 2024

About NRG:NRG is a leading global insights and strategy firm at the confluence of content, culture, and technology. We stay ahead of what’s next, providing fresh insights to spark new ideas. We’re a trusted partner to our clients, working behind the scenes to bring imagination, depth, and clarity to their biggest challenges—in entertainment, technology, lifestyle, sports, and gaming. Together, we create with confidence.

We’re proud of our company’s values – these values guide us as we navigate sunny days, gray skies and everything in between:

Do what you love. With conviction.
Where discovery lives. And impact drives.
Celebrate difference. Cultivate belonging.
Big thinking. Collectively inspired.
Embrace the journey. Be human.

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a passionate and inquisitive Analyst or Sr. Analyst to join our Client Services team. Our Client Services team is made up of world class researchers who bring unmatched industry expertise, a global perspective, and passion for all consumers in the rapidly evolving entertainment, technology, gaming, sports and lifestyle landscapes. This team works on research initiatives that help answer the most important strategic business questions for some of the world’s biggest brands! They help our clients leverage consumer insights to challenge conventional thinking, uncover new ideas, build better experiences, and continue to grow and innovate. Their rigorous research and expert consulting guide our clients to create their next story, product or strategy.

In this role, you will support a wide range of initiatives across the full project lifecycle from proposal to report delivery. If you’re passionate about qualitative and quantitative research; if you enjoy visualizing data and discovering insights with confidence; and are looking for a great opportunity to start your career where you can make an impact, this opportunity is for you!

Your Impact:

Support all phases of quantitative and qualitative research projects, including research design, questionnaire and discussion guide development, data analysis and storytelling.
- Projects may include methods such as concept evaluation, brand studies, content optimization tests, messaging/positioning evaluation, creative materials tests, market sizing and segmentation.
Help drive quality control processes at each step of the research lifecycle, from checking survey programming logic, questionnaire proofing, number checking and proofing reports and presentations for accuracy.
Partner with internal and external operations teams (programming, fieldwork, facilities, moderators, data processing) to drive projects forward on stringent timelines.
Assist with translating data into clear, actionable insights and recommendations through visual, creative and story-driven reports.

Who We're Looking For:

Must haves:

Curiosity and Critical Thinking – You are genuinely interested in seeking information on the “whys,” always digging for more information to understand what makes consumers tick. Whether it’s understanding why one marketing message is more effective than another or what consumers think we could be using AI for in the future, you can always find something interesting to sink your teeth into. Simply put, you love to learn.
Problem Solver – You are a natural problem solver. When something doesn’t go as planned, your first instinct is to look for a solution, rather than viewing it as a roadblock. You’re always on the lookout for new ways to accomplish tasks and have the ability to address issues using creative and collaborative tactics.
Data Driven – You’re comfortable working with data to identify trends and insights, including both structured (i.e. data and hard numbers) and unstructured (i.e. interviews and qualitative) data. Experience visualizing data with tools such as Excel, Power Point, Google Docs and Slides is preferred.
Self-starter – Internally-motivated who continuously strives to get things done well, regardless of challenges encountered. You are proactive and always keep an eye on the next step.
Clear and Proactive Communicator – You have excellent written and verbal communication skills and are able to communicate clearly and succinctly. You’re comfortable asking questions and sharing your point of view.
Hawk-eyed attention to detail – You notice when font sizes change unexpectedly or a proper noun isn’t capitalized. Errors don’t get past you and you are always focused on ensuring high levels of quality control and reporting.
Expert multitasker – Successfully manages time and multiple competing priorities to ensure deadlines are always met. Staying organized is a must for managing projects!
Great Team Member – Team player who works collaboratively and harmoniously within a team and across teams. You are comfortable forming connections with colleagues remotely whether that be jumping on a quick video meeting, picking up the phone for a call or chatting with them through IMs. You welcome feedback because you have a zest for learning and growing. You will roll up your sleeves to help get the job done and no task is beneath you.
Your degree(s) – You have a B.A./B.S. degree in areas such as Social Sciences, Psychology, Business, Marketing, Market Research, Statistics, Economics or a related field. Additional degrees are welcome!

Bonus attributes (nice-to-haves but not required):

Passion – A passion or desire to learn about technology, entertainment, sports and/or lifestyle sectors. You enjoy or are excited by the prospect of staying up to date on industry trends and developments.
Prior Experience – Prior internship or work experience in market research or consumer insights is a plus. If you don’t have relevant work experience, we would love to hear about academic qualitative or quantitative research projects, such as primary survey research, experimental psychology studies, social media analysis, ethnographic research, or any other relevant projects.
Data analysis techniques and software – Familiarity with any of the following data analysis techniques would be awesome: statistical significance testing, correlation analysis, multivariate analysis techniques (such as cluster/segmentation analysis) and conjoint and discrete choice analysis. Experience with statistical packages, like SPSS or Q, are a plus.

Position Type:

This is a full-time, exempt position.
