Syndicated Product Manager

Our Cogent Syndicated practice develops best in class syndicated research products containing input from advisors, investors, plan sponsors and consultants to present a broad overview of the financial industry.

Who you are?

• You are ready for a role that affords you more client-interface, the chance to interpret quantitative research findings (vs. running data analysis), and prepare presentations and reports.
• You are eager to have a competent mentor to guide you in learning about our products, how to credibly serve our clients, and the craft of syndicated research.
• You've worked in market research for at least 2 years, having gained understanding for the process of survey programming, fielding and data analysis.
• You have a talent for synthesizing findings into reports or presentations
• You love the idea of becoming a trusted resource for clients with a reputation for quality reports and timely service
• You've had some prior exposure to the financial services industry

What would you do?

• You would work our largest clients - companies you'd recognize and be proud to work with - to provide them with our quarterly deliverables (scorecards and presentations) they subscribe to receive.

• In addition, you would be the lead on our "on-demand" offering across multiple clients - wherein they pay to have us add proprietary questions to our monthly survey. You would operationalize the process to craft the questions appropriately, prepare for fielding, and then interpret and report on the results. This could be quantitative or qualitative in nature - thus you may also moderate an online bulletin board as needed for the qualitative insights.

• You would be paired with 1 or 2 experienced Product Directors to support them with their presentations to clients and read-outs of our reports. We offer a customized presentation to each subscribing client as our syndicated results are released. This is where we add value and cultivate continued business. You would be integral to the success of our continued growth.

• You would participate in marketing efforts by creating intriguing thought leadership content (blogs, white papers, website content, case studies) based on our syndicated data to promote sales and elevate Cogent's market position.

• Most of all, you are synthesizing findings and doing lots of deliverable preparation - writing PowerPoint headlines and handling client communications. You must like this aspect of the job to succeed in this role.

If you like what you've heard so far, we'd like to hear from you!

Here are the responsibilities & qualifications we're seeking in case you wish to have more detail.

Responsibilities:

• Take the lead on monthly reporting to Syndicated subscribers, creating scorecards and reports on proprietary questions and data requests
• Orchestrate and oversee the on-demand offering wherein clients submit questions to be inserted into our monthly surveys

• Manage the logistics if clients seek to add Qualitative questions in the on-demand offering. Develop and moderate an Online Bulletin Board, interpret results and prepare the report
• Collaborate with Product Directors and the analyst team on new content and/or enhancements for our annual reports.
