Senior Research Analyst – Video Game + Technology Insights

Role
As a Senior Research Analyst, you’ll have the opportunity to utilize your experience with primary research to think critically, tell a story using data, provide top-notch client service, and work with a team of equally passionate entertainment/tech/and game enthusiasts. The ideal candidate is someone with experience at a traditional market research supplier, with a personal passion for digital media, gaming, and technology who wants to apply their analytic chops and methodological expertise to consumer insights and business intelligence collected via multiple approaches. You will be responsible for helping ensure quality, client-ready deliverables, working with a team of smart, passionate analysts.

At Interpret, we consider ourselves fun scientists with a purpose and we’re searching for someone who holds a common love for the industries we work in, has a curiosity for consumer behavior, and wants to apply their analytic chops and methodological expertise to the game development and distribution process. A fun scientist is someone who thrives in a dynamic environment where your hobbies and personal passion for gaming, tech, and entertainment make work feel like, well, not work. Experience at a traditional research supplier and involvement in the full research project lifecycle is necessary. Client-side experience at a video game publisher, developer, and/or technology firm a plus.
