Together, we create with confidence.

NRG is seeking a Research Analyst to join our Future Of practice, supporting our flagship syndicated biannual landscape studies:
Future of Film and Future of Series—which elevate consumer trends into clear, actionable strategic guidance for our studio and streaming clients.

This role sits at the intersection of research, storytelling, and cultural intelligence. You’ll dive into both qualitative and quantitative research to help track, analyze, and translate what’s happening across the entertainment ecosystem—from audience behavior and industry strategy to cultural shifts shaping film and television’s future.

We’re looking for someone who is deeply engaged with entertainment as an industry: someone who follows the trades, tracks studio moves and platform strategy, listens to industry podcasts, and actively thinks about where film and TV are headed.

• Support all phases of quantitative and qualitative research tied to Future of Film and Future of Series, from early design through final delivery.
• Translate data into clear, actionable insights and recommendations through visual, creative and story-driven reports.
• Conduct ongoing landscape and trends research, tracking developments across film, television, streaming, platforms, talent, technology, and audience behavior.
• Source, synthesize, and contextualize information from our proprietary data, third party data (e.g., Box Office Mojo), and cultural signals.
• Organize and maintain project materials, including databases, trackers, ensuring clarity, version control, and accessibility.
• Manage survey logic proofing, link testing, and QA, ensuring clean execution prior to launch.
• Conduct data checks and number validation, supporting accuracy across reports, presentations, and data repositories.
• Support presentation development, including slide builds, script drafting, and narrative flow for client readouts.
• Assist with qualitative research setup and coordination, including discussion guide support, materials prep, and collaboration with moderators and operations teams.
• Partner closely with internal teams (programming, fieldwork, data processing, design) to keep projects moving forward on tight timelines.
• Contribute to external-facing thinking—helping shape POVs, frameworks, and narratives that may appear in reports, presentations, or broader thought leadership moments.
• Provide overflow support to the broader Content Development & Marketing Strategy practice during non-peak Future Of periods, contributing to team-wide success and collaboration.
• Leverage AI-enabled approaches to enhance the speed, scale, and depth of insight generation across research and storytelling.

• Prior – Prior internship or work experience in market research or consumer insights is a plus, but not required. We welcome early career candidates, including recent or soon-to-be graduates, and value hands-on-academic research experience – tell us about the projects you’ve worked on!
• Writing and storytelling – You know how to connect the dots and turn complex research findings into clear, compelling narratives. Whether you are writing a report, building a presentation, or presenting to a client, you bring insights to life in a way that captures attention and drives decisions.
• Curious and future-minded
  – You are genuinely interested in seeking information on the “whys,” always digging for more information to understand what makes consumers tick.…
