Job Description:
  • Design the most appropriate research approach to answer each key business question; select suitable methodologies.
  • Lead end-to-end research projects: from clarifying objectives, methodology planning, buyer recruitment, moderation, analysis, to insightful reporting
  • Execute and analyze qualitative methodologies including in-depth interviews (IDIs), focus group discussions (FGDs), diary studies, and immersion research related to e-commerce buyer behavior
  • Translate qualitative findings into clear, actionable recommendations tailored for stakeholders in Marketing, Business Development, Product, and Operations
  • Collaborate effectively with internal teams and external research agencies, ensuring high-quality outcomes from external partners
  • Occasionally support or conduct usability testing, persona development, and user journey studies — especially valuable when collaborating with product or UX teams
  • Support buyer recruitment for qualitative studies and immersion trips, including screening and facilitating sessions
  • Monitor industry trends and platform dynamics to contextualize insights and spot growth opportunities

Requirements:
  • Bachelor's Degree in a related discipline (e.g., Marketing, Psychology, Sociology, Communication, or Business Administration)
  • 2–3 years of experience in Market Research, with strong hands-on experience in qualitative research; agency-side experience is a plus
  • Strong understanding of qualitative research frameworks, and ability to recommend the right methodology to best answer different types of research questions
  • Demonstrated creativity and an innovative mindset, with the ability to approach research challenges from fresh perspectives
  • Experience in managing end-to-end qualitative research projects—from framing research objectives, designing guides, buyer recruitment, moderation, analysis, to final reporting.
  • Proficiency in Excel and Google Suite (e.g., Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides), familiar with Lyssna/Hotjar is a plus.
  • Excellent storytelling and communication skills (written and verbal), with the ability to engage stakeholders across functions and levels
