Remote Research Director – Lead From Anywhere

Lead Bold Projects From Any Place You Call Home

Picture this—you’re digging into a challenge, piecing together clues, and suddenly everything clicks. That spark is what drives us. Here, you’ll steer big, meaningful projects without being tied to one location. We focus on research that sparks change, not reports that get lost in a drawer. Your work will shape decisions, motivate teams, and help set our direction for the future. Whether you’re at your kitchen table, a buzzing café, or a quiet cabin, you’ll have the freedom to lead where you’re most inspired.

What Your Workdays Might Bring

One day, you’ll dive into industry data to spot where the market is heading. The next, you’ll talk with product leads about what people really want. And sometimes, you’ll help a teammate sort through a tricky dataset or find a faster way to share insights. Every day is different. It’s about knowing when to step back and see the big picture—and when to roll up your sleeves and work through the details.

Key Things You’ll Do

Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

• Set research goals that match our long-term vision.
• Lead a skilled, curious team.
• Turn complicated findings into clear, useful information.
• Spot industry shifts before they become headlines.
• Ensure projects run smoothly and efficiently.
• Balance today’s needs with tomorrow’s opportunities.

Who Fits This Role

Remote work is flexible, but it works best for someone who’s disciplined, engaged, and loves problem-solving. You’ll thrive here if you:

• Enjoy solving challenging puzzles.
• Bring order to messy situations.
• Can lead without micromanaging.
• See patterns others might miss.
• Believe research should lead to action.

If spreadsheets excite you but you can also make a strong case in a meeting, you’re in the right spot.

A Snapshot From the Team

Not long ago, one of our researchers noticed a strange pattern in customer behavior. She brought in two teammates, and together they found a market gap that led to a major strategic shift. That’s the kind of win we celebrate—quiet breakthroughs as much as big announcements.

Skills That Help You Succeed

We’ll support your growth, but these skills will help from the start:

• Solid experience in research (market, academic, product, or similar).
• Leadership experience, ideally with remote teams.
• Comfort with data analysis tools.
• Ability to make complex ideas easy to understand.
• Strategic thinking that goes beyond the next project.

Tools We Use

We keep things simple and effective:

• Slack for quick communication.
• Notion for organizing projects.
• Zoom for meetings and brainstorming.
• Google Workspace for sharing work.

We’ll always consider better tools if they help the team.

Staying Connected While Apart

Working remotely can be isolating. We keep connections strong through weekly team calls, monthly idea-sharing sessions, and occasional virtual hangouts. We also protect your focus time—no endless back-to-back meetings.

Why Your Work Matters Here

Your research will directly shape our plans, influence what we build, and help us serve people better. We’ll invest in your growth too—training, courses, and the space to try fresh ideas.

Flexibility That Works

We trust you to manage your time. You might start early for a call with Europe or log in later when deadlines loom. It’s about results, not clocking hours.

Pay & Perks

You’ll earn $144,544 annually plus benefits designed for real life:

• 100% remote work.
• Flexible schedule.
• Health and wellness support.
• Funds for professional growth.
• Paid time off so you can recharge.

What Success Looks Like

In the first 90 days, you’ll get to know the team, lead a few projects, and set a clear plan for the months ahead. By the end of your first year, you’ll have delivered insights that shaped our direction.
