  • Help coordinate freelance user researchers and external recruitment agencies for user research partcipants and SMEs
  • Contribute to proposals/SOWs with support from content leads/Directors and BD Manager as needed

  • “Emcee” and schedule important client milestone meetings with appropriately documented agenda items
  • Lead budget and scope creep discussions with clients and internally with Finance to ensure all projects stay on budget, in partnership with Project Director 
  • Coordinate resources with project team and Resourcing/HR, inputting project timelines and resources into 10k
 
Naturally you’ll have:
  • 3 years experience in project/program or account management with specific experience supporting UX research and innovation projects 
  • Experience and/or eagerness to grow client relationships to secure follow-on work and build a sustainable pipeline of warm leads from client relationships 
  • Experience scoping project details, and managing budgets from $50k to $500k
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with ability to build rapport with clients
  • Engaging interpersonal skills, comfortable leading client conversations and networking  
  • Strong attention to detail, but can see the strategic big picture 
  • High motivation and self-discipline to work autonomously
  • Comfort with ambiguity to help chart your path forward, and creatively reach goals 
The role is based in Brooklyn and will need to be local. We work on a hybrid model of 50% in person. Salary range will be dependent on candidate level and experience, and average range may fall between $75-100k base salary plus bonus and benefits eligible.
