Location: New York City (onsite)

_

The Marketing Insights & Analytics team is tasked with proving and improving the value of X as well as demonstrating the value of our audience to the marketplace. Our team seeks to understand how consumers think, feel, and behave on X.  Through a combination of ad campaign measurement and market-facing thought leadership projects, we use data to uncover who our audiences are and how they react to advertising. Recent examples include demonstrating the brand impact value of our Amplify ad products as well as showing how X is the go-to social platform for Olympics content. 

What You’ll Do

The Research Analyst is a position for candidates with research experience and who have a bachelor’s degree in behavioral or quantitative social sciences or a related subject. You will work as part of a team responsible for delivering insights and ad effectiveness measurement. You will own campaign measurement for a set of clients; this will require oversight of 15 or more projects at once. This includes preparing and setting up surveys, monitoring progress of in-field research, extracting data, presenting research findings to internal and external clients, and facilitating custom requests. You will also participate and lead thought-leadership research that spans multiple verticals and markets, where the goal is uncovering broader insights about X’s audience and how advertising performs on X.
