About Metaforms

Metaforms is redefining how market research gets done. Our AI platform helps the world's leading research agencies — Dynata, Savanta, Borderless Access — scale 10x faster without sacrificing quality, automating survey programming, data processing, and project management.

  • 1,000+ surveys processed monthly

  • Serving Fortune 500 companies

  • Backed by $9M Series A, scaling fast

The Role

We're hiring a Research Manager who lives and breathes primary research — someone who can pick up a business problem and turn it into a sharp questionnaire, then turn the data back into an insights report a client actually acts on.

You'll own research quality end-to-end at Metaforms: designing and reviewing questionnaires, sense-checking data, and building reports that hold up to client scrutiny. You'll also be the research conscience for our product and engineering teams — making sure the AI we build actually reflects how good research gets done, not a shortcut version of it.

What You'll Do

  • Design questionnaires from a brief: objectives, sampling plan, screener logic, scale choice, routing — the full craft, not just clean-up

  • Review and QA questionnaires and data for methodological soundness (bias, leading questions, sampling issues, logic errors)

  • Turn survey data into insights reports and decks that make a clear, defensible argument — not just banner tables

  • Be the domain expert other teams call on for “is this research right” — Product, Engineering, AI teams included

  • Partner with Product & Engineering to make sure AI-powered research tools (auto-programming, auto-tabbing, auto-reporting) meet the bar a good researcher would hold them to

  • Test and give structured feedback on new tools/prototypes before they ship

  • Train and calibrate other researchers and tech teams on research standards and edge cases

What We're Looking For

Core

  • 5+ years in market research, with real ownership of questionnaires and insights reports — not just fielding or coordination

  • Strong grounding in questionnaire design, sampling, and methodology

  • Can independently write an insights report that tells a story, not just describe charts

  • Sharp eye for what's wrong with a survey or a dataset

  • Comfortable being the person who says "this isn't good research" to a client or a product team

Bonus

  • Experience working alongside survey programmers / DP teams

  • Hands-on with Excel, PowerPoint, and a BI/viz tool (Tableau, Power BI, Displayr, Crunch.io)

  • Curiosity about how AI changes research ops — not required to be technical, just not allergic to it

Why Join Metaforms

  • Work at the frontier of AI-powered market research

  • Your research judgment directly shapes the product, not just a project

  • Zero-bureaucracy culture — speed, quality, customer impact

  • Series A funded, scaling fast

Benefits

  • Full family health insurance

  • $1,000 USD/year for skill development

  • Dedicated mentor/coach support

  • Free lunch & dinner at office

  • Monthly food/snacks allowance
