You will work with our product/technology team to evolve the way we deliver research using both digital (Darcy Connect, Webcasts, data sharing) and analog (in-person events and conferences) methods. You will work with our commercial team (sales and marketing) to allot resources that help us secure new logos and renew existing logos.

Objective 3 - First 90 Days - work with our events team to develop a larger, multi-day, sponsor/ticket-driven live event, either in late 2026 or early 2027.
Objective 4 - First 6 Months - work with the CEO and board of directors to conceive of one (1) new revenue-generating opportunity.
What You Bring to the Table
Industry experience
Most of our research team comes from highly technical environments, which allows them to deliver research and guidance that general-purpose firms cannot. You must have worked in one or both major industries we have served or can demonstrate significant knowledge of these industries from working with/covering them in the past. This is essential to building credibility with both our research team and customer base.
Research process
You understand a B2B research environment and what it means to operate in a world-class fashion. You have experience in a variety of research content and data types. You must be able to demonstrate how you have instituted processes and systems that allow b-to-b research teams to grow at scale.
Partners well with others
You understand that you will need to be closely tied to our marketing, sales, events, product and engineering groups to properly execute on revenue growth. You can demonstrate times that you’ve achieved results based on cooperating and collaborating well other functions and understand what strong partnerships look like between the functions.
Data driven and metrics oriented
You know how to manage to the right metrics and how to present the data to the CEO in terms of research impact. You are steeped in using both leading and lagging indicators to determine the health of the research engine, and you have used these indicators to determine solutions to challenges within the business.
Collaborative
You have empathy for your colleagues and customers. You demonstrate and influence cross-functional collaboration within the company and seek out opportunities to build relationships with others, even when difficult personalities or politics stood in the way.
Intellectually curious
You have a strong level of curiosity and care about learning. You are willing to try out new techniques and continuously improve your own skillsets and understanding. You aren’t afraid of mistakes – you learn from them and pride yourself on not making the same mistake twice.
Flexibility
You understand that at growth-stage companies, things will evolve, and you may have to be flexible in your approach and in your expectations. You’re open-minded and adapt well to changing environments as a company grows and scales.
Gets stuff done/accountable
You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves, getting deep into the numbers, tracking down the data, and delivering on a short timeline with limited resources. You don’t require a huge team to make things better. You’re comfortable thinking strategically, but also enjoy the process of “doing the work” yourself, and you take pride in the analysis, insights, and processes you have produced in your past roles. You own your work, start to finish, but aren’t afraid to ask for help when you need it.
Customer-obsessed
You spend most of your time with, thinking about, or supporting others in serving your customers. You deeply understand who loves your product, the value they derive, and how you are different than alternatives. You expect the same level of customer intimacy from your team and center your meetings with those who work for you around what we are learning from our users.
