Project Specialist, Research - Global Corporate, Life Sciences

• Project coordination: Own day-to-day project workflow across internal teams and stakeholders - tracking timelines, managing tasks, and keeping all moving pieces organized so nothing falls through the cracks
• Quality management: Take the first pass on survey edits, deliverable revisions, and other project materials; flag ambiguities or inconsistencies to senior teammates and, where possible, come prepared with a proposed solution.
• Client engagement: Participate in client calls and intake meetings; take detailed notes, track open questions, and be ready to raise anything that wasn't captured.
• Proposal & approach development: Lead the execution of feasibility checks, proposal drafts, and pricing following direction set by senior teammates.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with internal teams across research, sales, and operations to keep projects on track and well-resourced

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or higher
• 1-3 years of market research, consulting, or related professional experience
• A working understanding of the life sciences industry through education, prior work experience, or both. Candidates should have enough baseline familiarity with the space that learning new topics doesn't start from scratch
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong data literacy - comfort working with and interpreting large datasets, whether through Excel, SPSS, R, or similar tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong organizational habits and attention to detail
• Experience working in a fast-paced, client-servicing environment alongside cross-functional teams
• Client-facing experience is a strong plus — it can be learned, but candidates who've managed client relationships or navigated difficult conversations will ramp up faster and have more room to grow within the role
