About GutCheck

At GutCheck, we pioneered agile market research to provide our clients with actionable answers and insights, globally, at the speed of their business. We believe in the power of consumer research, and we are dedicated to providing best-in-class solutions. By challenging the status quo to get to something better, we are continually evaluating new, innovative ways to take tried-and-true methods and make them more agile to best support our clients, helping them think smarter and act faster.

About the role

Due to growth of our research team, GutCheck is seeking a full-time Research Strategist (RS). The RS takes the lead on Qual & Quant projects and often works one-on-one with clients from start to finish. Typical projects can last anywhere between a few days and a few weeks, and span from product or ad testing to marketing audience activation. Many clients are in the CPG industry but we also work in tech, food service, retail, healthcare, and B2B. Project mix is approximately 50% Qual / 50% Quant, which may skew one way or the other depending upon client needs.

This is a fast-paced research role that utilizes an agile approach to traditional research methodologies.

This is an opportunity to learn and grow within a well established Research team with an innovative research company. If you want to be challenged, this may be the right role for you.

This position will report into a Research Manager based in Denver, Colorado.
