Exceptional communication, decision-making, and self-motivation are key soft skills for effectively leading dispersed teams and driving organizational goals. These competencies are vital to ensure effective remote leadership, maintain operational excellence, and achieve business objectives across distributed workforces.

It’s also important to foster a strong company culture by encouraging virtual team-building activities and recognizing achievements, ensuring everyone feels connected despite the physical distance. These practices help align team members with organizational objectives and promote a productive, supportive work environment.

A little about us

Knit is the AI-native consumer research platform helping brands automate and accelerate primary research.

We're on a mission to scale and democratize world-class research. From survey generation to stakeholder-ready reports, our platform is redefining how insights teams operate - and we need your help to push the limits of what's possible.

  • Successful & effective people management, ensuring they are successfully fulfilling their role's responsibilities and growing in impact (People Management at Knit includes driving performance, driving clarity and accountability, hiring, onboarding, upskilling competencies, performance management, conflict resolution, and morale building.)
  • Driving and documenting in-depth project scoping to uncover a deep understanding of research objectives and project context to set up project success, including building out the client's Research Context Library (RCL) - capturing norms, standards, and preferences to align Knit's outputs to client-ready deliverables
  • Driving as the strategic problem solver, research subject matter expert, and solutions architect for for our highest potential prospects and customers, working with Sales to educate them on Knit's research capabilities, consulting with them to adjust for fringe requirements, and proposing solutions to maximize project success 
  • Participating in continuous product innovation by driving a tight feedback loop between customer delivery and Knit's product team - surfacing gaps between Knit's AI output and human-researcher quality, documenting "last mile" needs (what happens after delivery to get a project truly "stakeholder ready"), and ensuring that feedback is shared back with the team and acted upon to close those gaps
  • Partnering with the sales team on new business conversations - including scoping calls, capabilities presentations, and proposal input - to support successful Pilot to Subscription Conversions and new logo acquisition
  • Helping drive research team adoption of Knit's product as new workflows and tooling become available 
About you:
  • Must have 10+ years of market research experience, including at least 3 years of team management experience, with the majority of the time spent on the supplier side in a market research agency environment. 
  • Must have experience leading discovery and scoping calls, writing and editing quant and qual questionnaires from scratch, drafting analysis plans, and creating and presenting stakeholder-ready insights topline & reports. 
  • Ability to drive initiatives and outcomes in ambiguous environments, both for navigating complex customer needs and Knit internal business changes. Proven track record successfully operating in an early stage startup (<50 employees) is a plus. 
  • Proven track record of owning client relationships with customers at Enterprise, Fortune 500 US-based companies, specifically working with insights professionals to scope and achieve desired research outcomes, resulting in customer retention and growth.
  • Ability to drive initiatives and outcomes successfully in environments with competing priorities, multiple research projects on at a given time, and simultaneous internal business demands.
  • Effective People Manager - specifically in driving clarity and accountability, hiring, onboarding, performance management, conflict resolution, and morale building.
