Senior Strategic Insights Researcher
Description:
Senior Researcher who builds and personally runs PrizePicks’ pre-launch creative, concept, messaging, and asset testing; designing mixed-method studies, conducting fieldwork, analyzing results, and delivering recommendations that improve outcomes before launch. This is not a manager or vendor-management role.
What You'll Have:
5+ years in market research, consumer insights, advertising research, or a closely related discipline. Currently hands-on across the research lifecycle—writing briefs, designing studies, conducting fieldwork, analyzing findings, and making recommendations
Has personally designed and executed creative, advertising, concept, message, or value-proposition testing
Can translate a business decision into research objectives, hypotheses, success measures, and an appropriate study design
Has personally programmed surveys with visuals in Qualtrics or a comparable platform
Understands experimental or monadic designs, sampling, stimulus exposure, quality assurance, analysis, and interpretation
Has personally moderated interviews, focus groups, or rapid iterative studies and can diagnose why an idea works or fails
Demonstrated mixed-method capability across quantitative and qualitative research
Can show examples of research changing a creative or business decision; not merely reporting consumer reactions
Nice to Have:
Experience testing static advertising, paid social, television, out-of-home, storyboards, animatics, rough cuts, talent, promotions, or product experiences
Demonstrates exceptional ownership, persistence, and follow-through
Experience in sports, gaming, entertainment, consumer technology, or another culturally fast-moving category
Has built benchmarks, research principles, or repeatable creative-learning systems
Experience synthesizing consumer research with brand strategy, product context, and in-market performance
Uses AI-enabled tools responsibly for study development, qualitative coding, open-text analysis, synthesis, or workflow acceleration
Comfort operating across Product Marketing, Integrated Marketing, User Acquisition, Product Design, and Creative teams
