We’re looking for a director-level qualitative research lead with strong healthcare experience. This is someone who’s hands‑on, thrives in an autonomous yet collaborative environment, and brings fresh perspective without ego. This is a true end-to-end research role: from writing screeners and discussion guides to moderating interviews and writing strategic reports.

• Lead qualitative research projects from start to finish (design, moderation, analysis, reporting).
• Conduct in‑depth interviews (IDIs), primarily in healthcare/pharmaceutical.
• Build trusted relationships with clients through excellent research and strategic thinking.
• Collaborate with internal teams who handle logistics, sample/recruiting, and operational support.
• Potentially travel domestically and internationally depending on project needs.
• Contribute to business development through great client work and organic relationship building.
• Participate in and contribute to the firm’s collaborative, team‑based culture.

• 6–10+ years of qualitative research experience, ideally including healthcare/pharma.
• Skilled moderator—able to comfortably interview physicians, patients, caregivers.
• Able to manage multiple projects and work independently with minimal oversight.
• Strong writer and communicator, able to synthesize insights clearly and strategically.
• Comfortable in a flat, non‑hierarchical, team‑oriented culture.

• No micromanagement.
• Paid healthcare plans for employees.
• ESOP.
