About Behavioral Sciences

The Ipsos Behavioral Science Center works with clients across a variety of business sectors – ranging from consumer-packaged goods, to healthcare, finance, and technology; we also leverage both quantitative and qualitative research methods in our inquiries. We’ve helped a broad range of Fortune 100 companies create more powerful communications, optimize packaging decisions, innovate new products, and create long-term changes in behavior.

What makes this role important at Ipsos?

You must be capable of working on a variety of projects– typically at the same time. You should be able to make broad connections to the academic literature and uncover patterns in research findings to help our clients understand and solve problems differently. Because you will work with a variety of internal and external clients, you must also have strong interpersonal and communication skills, be comfortable on cross-functional teams, and be adept at thinking on your feet.

What you can expect to be doing:

Your primary role will be working with senior team members to execute day-to-day project needs and develop new business. Specifically, you will:

• Conduct literature searches and reviews

• Create research implements (surveys, experiments, qualitative guides)

• Analyze data

• Assist with the design and content of client deliverables

• Source “real/in-market” examples of BeSci principles for project specific topics

• Ability to translate academic theories into client friendly recommendations

• Facilitate training workshops and client working sessions

• Build relationships with internal stakeholders and external clients

In addition to your day-to-day tasks, we seek someone who will ultimately contribute to our thought leadership, product development, and evangelism for behavioral science.

This might be the job for you if you have:

• Strong passion for Behavioral Science, problem solving, and a desire to understand and apply how consumer’s make shopping decisions
• Some experience in market research, ideally working with clients
• Demonstrated track-record of excellence in previous work (academic, professional, or personal)
• Advanced degree in psychology, marketing, anthropology, or behavioral science (PhD preferred)
• Comfort using statistical software (Excel, SPSS, Python, R, etc.) to perform data analysis and create data visualizations
• Professional experience in marketing, insights, or consulting is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines
• Positive attitude and can-do spirit; willingness to challenge conventional thinking
• Works well with others in a close-team environment – open to providing and receiving feedback
• Excellent oral and written communication skills (i.e., emails, PowerPoint, meetings, presentations, etc.)
• Visual design skills a plus

If you don’t meet 100% of the requirements, we encourage all who feel they might be a fit for the opportunity to apply. We may consider a variety of backgrounds for a particular role and are also committed to considering candidates for available positions throughout our organization, not just the one you are applying to!

In accordance with NY/CO/CA/WA law, the estimated base salary range for this role is $150,000 to $160,000. Your final base salary will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors which may include but are not limited to location, work experience, skills, knowledge, education, and/or certifications.

What is in it for you:

At Ipsos you will experience opportunities for Career Development, an exceptional benefits package (including generous PTO, healthcare plans, wellness benefits), a flexible workplace policy, and a strong collaborative culture.
