Analyst Institute is looking to fill a Research Manager role on the Research Team. You'll be part of a close-knit, cutting edge team of experts with backgrounds in social, behavioral, and data science working together to both conduct research to support our partners in the progressive movement and translate that research into actionable insight to inform their work.

We’re looking to fill the Research Manager role as soon as possible. We will be accepting applications through October 23rd.

The Role

Research Managers (RMs) act as the principal investigators on our research projects, leading small project teams that are responsible for conducting our research. RMs are project managers who develop, design, and run field experiments, among other types of quantitative research, on a wide variety of subjects: get-out-the vote efforts, voter registration, persuasion, organizing and power-building, and more. RMs work directly with our partner organizations across the progressive movement to think creatively about developing research that can inform their work — which involves taking social science and “translating” it for folks working on the ground.

As an RM, you will get exposure to people and organizations across the progressive movement, develop, implement, and manage complex projects, and work with other talented practitioners across the space. You will be a prominent player in the progressive world, and we will invest in your skills and professional development. If you are a strong project manager with a deep understanding of research design and can communicate technical information to practitioners, this could be a great role for you.

As a Research Manager on the research team, you’ll:

• Design research projects, including randomized controlled trials and other types of quantitative research, in partnership with progressive organizations to meet the partner’s research goals.

• Communicate the potential benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of various research designs to non-technical partners in order to work together to identify the best research design for the partner’s research goals.

• Connect with partner organizations to understand their perspectives and research objectives.

• Manage simultaneous projects, often at varying stages of development, from design to implementation to analysis.

• Communicate both internally and externally to ensure projects’ success.
