Quantitative Research Associate Jobs in Missouri

Position Summary...As a Principal Consumer Insights Scientist supporting the Member's Mark organization, you'll serve as the strategic insights partner for one or more merchandising businesses. You'll work directly with merchants, product developers, and cross-functional teams to transform Member feedback into decisions that shape products, packaging, innovation, and the Member experience.
This is a senior-level, hands-on individual contributor role. You'll independently own the complete research lifecycle—from defining business questions and selecting the appropriate methodology to programming studies, analyzing data, interpreting statistical results, and presenting recommendations to senior leadership. There are no junior analysts to hand work off to; success requires both strategic thinking and the ability to execute complex research independently.
One of the most unique aspects of this role is the opportunity to work with the Member's Mark Community—one of the largest consumer co-creation communities in retail. With more than 150,000 Members nationwide, the Community has tripled in size in just two years and gives researchers direct access to engaged Members to co-create, test, taste, evaluate, and improve hundreds of Member's Mark products. This provides an unmatched opportunity to generate rapid, high-quality consumer insights that directly influence products found in clubs across the country. What you'll do...
