CAREERS & INTERNSHIPS

Senior Insight Associate

Are you fascinated by why consumers do the things they do? Why they buy the brands they buy? If you enjoy exploring these mysteries of consumer behavior, we should talk.

We are looking for a candidate to join our small, nimble team in Pittsburgh as a Senior Insight Associate. You'll be working closely with Fortune 500 clients, helping solve the riddles of why consumers think and feel the way they do, and translating those insights into action.

Clients typically use our research to create better positioning and communication, and as inspiration for product innovation. Our clients have included The Coca-Cola Company, P&G, General Mills, Microsoft, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

People who succeed at OZ exhibit high levels of intellectual curiosity; are empathetic toward colleagues, clients, and consumers; and can think boldly and creatively.

About the role

In the position you would:

• Work closely with clients to understand research goals and create project designs

• Conduct qualitative market research interviews

• Perform qualitative and occasional quantitative research analysis

• Offer strategic direction to clients based on research insights

• Collaborate to present customer insights to client teams

What we are looking for

• Bachelor's (at least) or Master’s degree (even better!)

• 2-4 years of experience in consumer insights, preferably qualitative research

• An independent thinker comfortable working in an often ambiguous and dynamic environment.

We have been named one of Pittsburgh’s Best Places to Work and are based in our beautiful office in PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh. (And if you think of Pittsburgh as an aging steel town, think again! It is regularly voted one of the most livable cities in the United States!)
