Lead projects end to end: own design, implementation, and delivery, and keep management, partners, and clients informed of progress.
Translate ambiguous client requests into rigorous, defensible research designs — and guide clients toward sound methodological choices, pushing back where needed.
Write and execute surveys; manage sample and field.
Conduct statistical analysis of survey data, including panel participation, nonresponse, weighting, imputation, and matching.
Respond quickly and credibly to internal and external client requests.
Write and deliver clear reports and presentations.
Bring methodological rigor to every engagement — choosing the right design, weighting, and analysis approach for the problem at hand.
Improve how we deliver: identify reusable methods, tooling, and quality checks that make client work faster and more rigorous, and run internal methods experiments that feed directly back into our work.
