&Marketing is a company that helps CEOs and leadership teams make confident marketing decisions. They are seeking an experienced Insights Manager to assist clients in transforming data into actionable insights and recommendations.

Responsibilities:

• Lead insights workstreams for a select group of &Marketing clients, with accountability for on-time, high-quality deliverables and client satisfaction
• Run competitive and performance benchmarking programs (often quarterly), including: (1) market/category landscape, competitor activity and messaging, (2) visibility/search and content footprint signals, (3) what’s changing, who’s gaining, and where white space exists
• Design and execute VOC/messaging validation efforts (conduct customer interviews, data synthesis, insight summaries, what-to-say/how-to-say-it guidance)
• Build clear, prioritized recommendations tied to business goals
• Create and/or guide client-ready deliverables: one-pagers, executive summaries, roadmaps, and action plans
• Partner with content and strategy teammates to operationalize insights into content, campaigns, and site experience improvements

Requirements:

• 5–10+ years in insights, analytics, market/competitive intelligence, research, strategy, or similar (agency, in-house, or consulting)
• Strong experience turning messy inputs into clean recommendations (performance data, SEO/visibility, web analytics, research, VOC, competitive messaging, etc.)
• Comfortable pulling data, analyzing, synthesizing, presenting, and recommending next steps
• Confident communicator—able to explain what matters to non-analysts without oversimplifying or hiding behind jargon
• AI-forward and pragmatic: actively uses AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, and drafting—while applying sound judgment, validation, and human insight to ensure quality and accuracy
• Self-starter who can work independently with a remote team and keep projects moving
• “Roll up your sleeves” attitude—curious, skeptical (in a good way), and allergic to lazy conclusions
• Strong storytelling with data: you don't just report— you interpret
• High standards, low ego: consistent track record of being a good teammate
• Low tolerance for bureaucracy; bias for speed without sacrificing accuracy
• You can hold a room (or a Zoom) and guide stakeholders to decisions
• Experience with common tools is a plus (not all required): GA4, Search Console, SEMrush/Ahrefs, Similarweb, CRM reporting (HubSpot/Salesforce), survey tools, interview-based research, Excel/Sheets
• Consulting/agency, venture capital, or private equity environment experience is a plus
• Bonus: experience with global / multi-market analysis and localization considerations
• EST Time Zone preferred
