Market Research & Insights Expert at Mercor

Market Research & Insights Expert | $120/hr | Contractor | Remote

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab to engage experienced market research, consumer insights, and marketing strategy professionals to act as end-users of an AI product. You will interact with the product as if using it in your day-to-day work — evaluating outputs, providing feedback, and helping improve how the system supports real-world decision-making.

What the Work Involves

• Use an AI-powered product built for market research synthesis, consumer insights generation, and marketing strategy recommendations.
• Evaluate outputs from an end-user perspective: relevance and usefulness of insights, strategic quality and business applicability, and clarity, structure, and actionability.
• Provide structured feedback and annotations: what works well vs. what doesn't, gaps, inaccuracies, or missing context, and how outputs could be improved for real-world use.
• Simulate real workflows, such as reviewing reports, validating insights, and making decisions based on outputs.

Who They're Looking For

Professionals who regularly consume, interpret, and act on market research and insights, including market research analysts, managers and directors, consumer insights managers and leads, marketing strategy and brand managers, and product marketing or growth professionals with strong research exposure.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in market research, insights, or marketing strategy.
• Current or recent experience at a Fortune 1000 company, top consulting firm, or leading agency.
• Hands-on experience using insights to drive decisions, not just producing reports.
• Familiarity with consumer research, segmentation, or survey analysis; market sizing, competitive intelligence, or trend analysis; or translating insights into business or marketing strategy.
• Strong critical thinking and the ability to give clear, actionable feedback.
• Fluent in English.

Pay and Schedule

• $120/hr, hourly contract.
• Remote, flexible, low-commitment work that can fit alongside your current role.
• Opportunity for future product testing and feedback engagements.
