Full Job Description
Level is seeking a Senior Market Researcher to lead Level's market research function. This is a senior individual contributor role for an experienced market researcher who can cover many functions, including scoping research with stakeholders, designing methodologically sound studies, fielding them, analyzing the data, and producing reports that drive real decisions.
You'll partner with marketing and publishing teams, but your work will inform decisions across the organization, helping us understand customers, the broader supplemental learning markets, and how Level is positioned within them. The work spans the full range of market research: segmentation, customer profiling, brand and positioning research, pricing and willingness-to-pay studies, concept testing, and ongoing tracking programs.
You'll own this work end-to-end, from initial stakeholder conversations through study design, fielding, analysis, and final reporting. You'll be the methodological backbone of Level's market research function, building practices and infrastructure that make this work reliable, repeatable, and trusted across the organization.
