While some flexibility may be available, preference will be given to candidates who are able to work in person with our team in Richland, Washington.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is intellectually curious and enjoys learning about unfamiliar topics. The right candidate can move comfortably between detailed research and big-picture thinking and understands that good research goes beyond finding information. It requires determining what matters and why.

Qualifications include:

Currently completing a bachelor’s degree in project management, business, marketing, economics, communications, research, analytics, social sciences or a related field; or
Or already holds a bachelor’s degree and is currently pursuing a project management certification or credential

Willingness to learn new industries, technologies, and business topics quickly

What You’ll Gain

This role provides the opportunity to build experience at the intersection of market research, strategy, innovation, and project management. You’ll have opportunities to:

Conduct research that directly informs real client projects and strategic decisions
Build experience across a wide variety of industries and business challenges
Develop stronger research, synthesis, analytical, and presentation skills
Learn how research moves from raw information to insights and ultimately to strategic recommendations
Gain exposure to consulting and client-service environments
Develop practical project-management skills while contributing to active engagements
Work closely with an experienced team and take on greater responsibility as your capabilities grow
Be considered for full-time employment following graduation or completion of your degree, based on performance, business needs, and mutual fit

Who Thrives in This Role

You’ll likely enjoy this position if you’re the person who naturally wants to know “Why is that happening?” “What else is influencing this?” and “What does this mean?”

We’re looking for someone who is resourceful, dependable, comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to dig deeper when the answer isn’t immediately obvious. Strong candidates will enjoy both the investigative side of research and the discipline required to keep projects and information organized.
