Manage custom quantitative research projects from start to finish, grow client relationships, coach junior researchers, and incorporate AI tools into analytical workflows. | Requires at least five years designing and analyzing custom quantitative surveys independently, along with strong project management, methodological expertise, and clear data storytelling. | About Morning Consult Morning Consult is a global decision intelligence company changing how modern leaders make smarter, faster, better decisions. The company pairs its proprietary high-frequency data with rigorous analysis to better inform decisions on what people think and how they will act. This position will be based in one of our office locations (Washington, DC; New York, NY; Chicago, IL) or can be based remotely. Our award-winning and modern, open concept offices are located in Washington, DC, Chicago, IL and New York, NY. All three offices are accessible by public transportation and in close proximity to great restaurants and shopping. Join us in the office for catered lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays or grab a beverage from the fridge for an impromptu after-work happy hour! About the Role We are looking for an experienced market research professional to join Research Solutions as a Senior Research Manager, reporting to a Research Director. You will own the research behind a set of client accounts: executing custom quantitative studies, running multiple projects at once with little oversight, and building the kind of client relationships that lead to renewals and new work. You will work closely with Research Directors, Account Executives, and partners across Research Operations. You will also help set the standard for the people around you. You will coach Research Managers and Research Associates on craft, service standards, and quality, including how to use AI well without lowering the bar for client-ready work. You will thrive here if you move projects forward without waiting for direction, see problems before they reach the client, and enjoy making a team's work better. The Research Solutions Team at Morning Consult The Research Solutions Team at Morning Consult is focused on custom-designed research and is crucial to Morning Consult’s industry-leading, customer-obsessed Commercial Organization and its ability to drive sustainable growth across our entire portfolio of business. Morning Consult’s mission is to deliver high-impact, quality intelligence at scale to decision-makers anytime, anywhere. Our team consists of business leaders and researchers with experience in market research, insights, political polling, strategic consulting and more. What You'll Be Working On Client Relationships and Account Growth Nurture day-to-day relationships with client contacts and build toward near-autonomous leadership of at least one client. Handle moderate-complexity conversations confidently and without escalation. Earn trust through proactive communication, consistent delivery, and applied knowledge of each client's industry, competitors, and stakeholders. Spot expansion and research-bank opportunities and bring them to the Director or Account Executive with enough context to act. Contribute to proposals and pitches alongside Directors and AEs, adding the research perspective. Research Design and Delivery Manage execution across the full project lifecycle, from kickoff prep through post-delivery documentation, across multiple concurrent projects. Apply methodological knowledge to survey design, analysis, and storytelling without Director direction. Catch gaps in the story at the outline stage on complex projects. Deliver first drafts that are close to client-ready, and use the deliverable and project checklists consistently at every stage gate. Meet Morning Consult's client service standards. Use Morning Consult's data ecosystem to deliver consultative value. Anticipating Risk Think ahead about downstream client and delivery implications. Raise risks to the Director before they reach the client, with proposed mitigations rather than just flags. Re-prioritize a full project load when timelines compress or scope shifts, without losing quality or client trust. Collaboration and Coaching Run touchpoints with Research Operations and Sales independently, keeping the Director informed without needing to loop them into every step. Coach Research Managers and Research Associates on tasks, service standards, and quality expectations. Give concrete, candid feedback and bring junior teammates into skill-building work. Influencing Innovation and Best Practices (Including AI) Use AI in higher-complexity workflows (for example, multi-wave tracking and cross-tab analysis). Review every AI-assisted output critically before it moves forward, so nothing that isn't client-ready reaches a client or the next reviewer. Pressure-test new processes, propose improvements that benefit others, and document and share what works. Perform such other tasks and duties as may be required or assigned from time to time in the Company's discretion. About You and What You've Done 5+ years of experience designing and analyzing custom quantitative survey research A track record of running complex projects from design through client-ready deliverables with minimal oversight Experience managing client relationships and deepening trust over time Strong methodological knowledge Strong prioritization and project management skills across several concurrent projects Clear, persuasive communication, written and verbal, with the ability to turn findings into a compelling story Uncompromising attention to detail with high technical standards Experience or interest in coaching and developing teammates Comfort with ambiguity and change, and an openness to new ways of working Hands-on experience using AI tools in research or analytical work, with sound judgment about when output needs correction.

Lead cross-functional initiatives and translate strategic priorities into operating plans and scorecards for marketing leadership. | 8+ years in product marketing, growth, or business operations in a high-growth tech or SaaS environment with strong analytical and communication skills. | About Morning Consult Morning Consult is a global decision intelligence company changing how modern leaders make smarter, faster, better decisions. The company pairs its proprietary high-frequency data with applied artificial intelligence to better inform decisions on what people think and how they will act. This role is available in any of our office locations or can be based remotely. Our award-winning and modern offices are located in Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; and New York, NY. All three offices are accessible by public transportation and in close proximity to great restaurants and shopping. Join us in the office for catered lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, or grab a beverage from the fridge for an impromptu after-work happy hour! The Role Morning Consult is hiring a Director, Marketing Strategy and Operations to own the marketing organization's highest-priority cross-functional initiatives end to end — from problem definition through implementation, adoption, and the outcome each one was meant to produce. This is the kind of work that doesn't sit neatly inside a single function, requires structuring real ambiguity, and needs someone who can move fluidly between strategic planning and hands-on execution. How ownership works: This role owns projects and supports every function across the Marketing team. On every initiative you take on, you are the accountable owner: you define the problem, build the plan, convene the cross-functional group, drive the decisions, and are measured on whether it shipped and moved the number it was supposed to move. Marketing leadership may be in the room for the first meeting — after that it's yours. Every initiative on the list below is one the business cannot execute without a dedicated owner, which is why the role exists. This is not a conventional product marketing, growth, or operations role. You'll flex across the function to support what the business needs most in a given quarter. In one stretch that might mean rebuilding how inbound leads flow from marketing to sales; in another, it might mean helping take new AI and agentic product capabilities to market, translating strategic priorities into concrete plans and scorecards, or working through how the team's content function should evolve. What You'll Be Working On Own the marketing organization's highest-priority cross-functional initiatives — scoped with the Chief Growth Officer, then run by you — the projects too multidisciplinary or consequential to sit inside a single function. Own communication and reporting of overall growth function performance to executive, cross-functional, and team function leaders. Own large-scale transformation projects end-to-end, from problem definition through implementation and adoption. Structure undefined, messy problems into clear plans, workstreams, timelines, and owners — and drive them to completion. Translate Marketing leadership's strategic priorities into concrete operating plans, targets, and scorecards, and own tracking progress against them over time. Build and run the operating rhythm for the marketing organization — planning cycles, leadership reviews, and the decision forums that go with them — so the team operates against real targets and a real calendar. Lead Marketing's role in company-level strategic efforts — the go-to-market for new AI and agentic product capabilities, our analytics investment, and Marketing's contribution to our largest enterprise and AI-partner pitches. You'll carry these with the authority to decide, not just to report back. Partner with functional leads to evaluate and strengthen the team's capabilities and areas for improvement. Build the materials and narratives for executive- and leadership-level conversations, translating complex initiatives into clear, decision-ready updates. Serve as a trusted thought partner to marketing leadership on prioritization, resourcing, and organizational design decisions. Build trust and alignment across stakeholders in Sales, Product, RevOps, and Finance, ensuring Marketing's priorities are understood and properly resourced beyond the marketing org itself. Move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution — this role is built to flex toward wherever the business need is greatest. About You and What You've Done 8+ years of experience spanning product marketing, growth, or business/marketing operations and strategy, ideally including time at a high-growth SaaS, data, or technology company. A track record of owning large-scale, cross-functional transformation projects from ambiguity through execution. Comfortable operating without a fixed functional lane — genuinely energized by moving between strategy, analytics, and hands-on execution as priorities shift. A systems thinker who can diagnose broken or informal processes and redesign them to scale. Strong judgment operating with significant autonomy; exercises wide latitude in determining the right approach to critical, undefined assignments. Experience operating as a close, trusted partner to a senior leader on strategic initiatives. Experience building or running planning cycles, operating cadences, or scorecards for a leadership team, and comfort acting as a proxy for senior leadership in certain settings. Strong analytical fluency and comfort getting into the data to inform recommendations. Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to flex between detailed execution and clear, executive-level narrative. Genuine curiosity about applying AI to marketing and operations, with an interest in evaluating and rolling out new tools and agentic capabilities. Depth in B2B product marketing, data or licensing go-to-market, or enterprise growth is a strong plus — several of the first projects sit squarely in that territory.
