Remote Director of Market Research

Markets shift fast. A product launch, a policy change, or even a viral trend can shake up entire industries. That’s where you come in. As our Director of Market Research, you’ll lead the way we analyze and act on these shifts. This isn’t about sitting on the sidelines. It’s about guiding a team, shaping strategies, and turning research into growth.

Why This Role Matters

You’re not just interpreting charts or reports. You’re connecting the dots and helping us see the bigger picture. Your work will shape everything from strategy to new opportunities. And since this role is fully remote, you’ll have the flexibility to create your best work routine.

A Day in Your Life

Morning: You scan market updates. Something stands out — a shift in consumer spending patterns. You make a note to dig deeper. Midday: Your team joins a call. One analyst is researching digital adoption, another is studying sentiment in Europe. You guide them, ask questions, and sharpen their focus. Afternoon: You connect with senior leaders. They want to know how an industry regulation could impact plans. You break it down into clear, simple takeaways. End of Day: You share a summary — not just data, but a story that makes next steps obvious.

What Makes You Effective

You’re strategic. You zoom in on the details, then zoom out to the big picture. You listen, mentor, and know when to challenge ideas. And you balance complex data with human insight.

Skills That Count

  • Strong knowledge of research methods
  • Leadership and mentoring experience
  • Understanding of consumer and financial market trends
  • Comfort with Excel, Tableau, or Power BI
  • Ability to turn data into stories
  • Clear communication across teams and leadership

Challenges You’ll Face

Leading remotely can be tricky. Keeping a team connected takes effort. That’s why we hold weekly huddles, casual check-ins, and one-on-ones. Priorities can also change quickly — but you thrive in fast-moving environments, right?

Tools You’ll Use

  • Global market intelligence platforms
  • Data visualization tools
  • Collaboration apps
  • Access to industry research sources

Why People Stay Here

  • Freedom to set research priorities
  • A team that’s curious and motivated
  • Direct impact on company strategy
  • Space to try new ideas in research

A Leadership Story

One of our analysts spotted growth in a small but rising category. Instead of brushing it aside, the director encouraged deeper digging. That spark grew into a strategy that opened new revenue. That’s the kind of leadership we value.

Growth Opportunities

We invest in leaders. You’ll have access to executive coaching, leadership training, and opportunities to present at top levels. You’ll also shape the careers of the analysts you mentor.

How We Work Together

  • Open, honest communication
  • Respect for focused work time
  • Shared ownership with strong support

Your First 90 Days

Month one: meet the team, learn the systems, set goals. Month two: lead conversations that sharpen research direction. Month three: deliver insights that shape a real decision.

Remote Leadership, Our Way

Trust and connection make remote leadership work. Some teammates are at home, others at co-working spaces. What matters is the collaboration and the insights we deliver.

Salary and Benefits

  • Annual salary: $157,500
  • Flexible schedule
  • Remote-first culture
  • Leadership training
  • Wellness and learning support
  • Generous time off

Signs This Role Fits You

  • You like turning complex research into clear actions
  • You thrive in guiding diverse remote teams
  • You enjoy spotting market shifts early
  • You balance independence with team leadership

Ready to Step In?

Here, you’ll lead research that drives decisions. You’ll guide a team of curious minds, connect insights others miss, and shape the future direction of the business. If that excites you, this is your chance. Markets don’t wait — and with you leading, neither will we.
