Full Job Description
Description:

Senior Researcher who builds and personally runs PrizePicks' pre-launch creative, concept, messaging, and asset testing; designing mixed-method studies, conducting fieldwork, analyzing results, and delivering recommendations that improve outcomes before launch. This is not a manager or vendor-management role.

What You'll Have:
  • 5+ years in market research, consumer insights, advertising research, or a closely related discipline. Currently hands-on across the research lifecycle-writing briefs, designing studies, conducting fieldwork, analyzing findings, and making recommendations
  • Has personally designed and executed creative, advertising, concept, message, or value-proposition testing
  • Can translate a business decision into research objectives, hypotheses, success measures, and an appropriate study design
  • Has personally programmed surveys with visuals in Qualtrics or a comparable platform
  • Understands experimental or monadic designs, sampling, stimulus exposure, quality assurance, analysis, and interpretation
  • Has personally moderated interviews, focus groups, or rapid iterative studies and can diagnose why an idea works or fails
  • Demonstrated mixed-method capability across quantitative and qualitative research
  • Can show examples of research changing a creative or business decision; not merely reporting consumer reactions

Nice to Have:
  • Experience testing static advertising, paid social, television, out-of-home, storyboards, animatics, rough cuts, talent, promotions, or product experiences
  • Demonstrates exceptional ownership, persistence, and follow-through
  • Experience in sports, gaming, entertainment, consumer technology, or another culturally fast-moving category
  • Has built benchmarks, research principles, or repeatable creative-learning systems
    Experience synthesizing consumer research with brand strategy, product context, and in-market performance
  • Uses AI-enabled tools responsibly for study development, qualitative coding, open-text analysis, synthesis, or workflow acceleration
    Comfort operating across Product Marketing, Integrated Marketing, User Acquisition, Product Design, and Creative teams
