The Role
We're hiring a Research Manager who lives and breathes primary research — someone who can pick up a business problem and turn it into a sharp questionnaire, then turn the data back into an insights report a client actually acts on.
You'll own research quality end-to-end at Metaforms: designing and reviewing questionnaires, sense-checking data, and building reports that hold up to client scrutiny. You'll also be the research conscience for our product and engineering teams — making sure the AI we build actually reflects how good research gets done, not a shortcut version of it.
Show full description
What You'll Do
Design questionnaires from a brief: objectives, sampling plan, screener logic, scale choice, routing — the full craft, not just clean-up
Review and QA questionnaires and data for methodological soundness (bias, leading questions, sampling issues, logic errors)
Turn survey data into insights reports and decks that make a clear, defensible argument — not just banner tables
Be the domain expert other teams call on for “is this research right” — Product, Engineering, AI teams included
Partner with Product & Engineering to make sure AI-powered research tools (auto-programming, auto-tabbing, auto-reporting) meet the bar a good researcher would hold them to
Test and give structured feedback on new tools/prototypes before they ship
Train and calibrate other researchers and tech teams on research standards and edge cases
What We're Looking For
Core
5+ years in market research, with real ownership of questionnaires and insights reports — not just fielding or coordination
Strong grounding in questionnaire design, sampling, and methodology
Can independently write an insights report that tells a story, not just describe charts
Sharp eye for what's wrong with a survey or a dataset
Comfortable being the person who says "this isn't good research" to a client or a product team
Bonus
Experience working alongside survey programmers / DP teams
Hands-on with Excel, PowerPoint, and a BI/viz tool (Tableau, Power BI, Displayr, Crunch.io)
Curiosity about how AI changes research ops — not required to be technical, just not allergic to it
Why Join Metaforms
Work at the frontier of AI-powered market research
Your research judgment directly shapes the product, not just a project
Zero-bureaucracy culture — speed, quality, customer impact
Series A funded, scaling fast

Full family health insurance
$1,000 USD/year for skill development
