Project Specialist, Research - Global Corporate, Life Sciences

GLG

New York, NY • On-site

Full-time

Posted 9 days ago


Job description

GLG Research connects clients across all industries with data driven insights using our B2B panels built from the world's largest and most varied source of first-hand expertise. We offer market insights by providing access to our industry-leading expert panel, as well as full-service custom market research project management.  

GLG's Corporate Research team helps companies across the technology, life sciences, and industrials spaces by providing the insights they need to handle the critical decisions they face throughout market understanding, product development, marketing, and other market research projects. The team leverages quantitative and qualitative methods along-side deep industry consulting approaches  to inform their decisions in a timely and thorough manner. 

GLG is seeking a Project Specialist to join our Life Sciences Research Team. As a Project Specialist, you will work as a core member of a specialized team reporting to a Research Director, responsible for executing complex, custom market research projects for a dedicated subset of life sciences clients. This role exists to keep projects moving - managing the operational details of each engagement so that senior researchers can focus on strategy, client relationships, and insight development. 

This position is primarily an execution role, but one that demands real judgment. Every project is custom-built to a client's research objectives, which means no two engagements look exactly the same. Strong candidates will be comfortable working through ambiguity and solving problems independently - contributing their own perspective on how best to meet a client's objectives - and equally comfortable recognizing when a situation calls for escalating to a teammate or manager before it becomes a problem. 

Specific Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to): 

  • 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 

At a minimum, you will have the following: 

  • 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 

We would love if you also had most of these 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
