redmondsearch seeks to meet visionary leaders in Market Research with specific experience surveying populations for travel behaviors, preferences of mode choice, and overall user experience for a leadership role in a mission-driven market research consulting firm.

This role is not just about acquiring data and numbers – it’s about connecting the resulting insights to real-life measures that can shape travel behaviors, provider a better experience to the end users and as a result buttress a more equitable and climate-conscious environment.

Your Impact: Ready to leave a mark? In this leadership role, you'll be the expert at the helm, steering small, focused teams towards big goals. You'll manage complex projects that not only meet but exceed client expectations, fostering growth and ensuring our client’s high standards are not just met, but surpassed.

What You'll Do:

• Lead with Purpose: Guide your teams through rigorous market-research consulting engagements that make a difference to everyday inhabitants of big and small cities alike.
• Grow Together: Develop and mentor your team, recruiting top talent and nurturing their professional journey.
• Build Relationships: Be the face of the practice, forging lasting connections with clients and spotting opportunities for growth.
• Deliver Excellence: Manage the nuts and bolts—budgets, timelines, resources—to ensure our projects are nothing short of successful.

The hard requirements:

• You know people transportation – ground, rail, or aviation. You may have worked at an agency, or you have provided services to public transportation-centric clients.
• You possess a bachelor’s degree or higher in fields that move us—transportation, energy, market research, or similar.
• You understand the consulting paradigm: What does it mean to manage projects, people, and deliverables to clients? You know how to drive accountability and innovation.
• You can demonstrate your professional chops in quantitative analysis – so you can teach and mentor others and apply this knowledge when shaping projects for your clients.
• You are a good communicator who can translate intricate technicalities into clear, actionable insights.

What You Will Have in Return:

• Satisfying work with a small, niche employee-owned firm where you know everyone, and everyone knows you.
• An environment where “thinking outside the box” and asking questions is rewarded.
• Association with a market leader in the public-service market research niche which delivers advanced analytics and survey methodologies which are not just about insights —but also about impact.
