A little about us…
Knit is the AI-native consumer research platform helping brands automate and accelerate primary research. With our Researcher-Driven AI, we’ve condensed the entire quant + qual research process from weeks into days (sometimes hours!) for 50+ enterprise brands — including Amazon, T-Mobile, Mars, NASCAR, and more. 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.
Overview
The purpose of the Research Manager role is to ensure Knit customers successfully achieve their desired research outcomes through their partnerships with Knit. By owning and supporting customer relationships, getting deeply engrained in customer research needs, and driving high-quality project deliverables, the Research Manager’s impact is ultimately measured by positive customer retention.
Responsibilities | What you will own...
The research function is a primary contributor to Knit’s shared business objectives of customer retention and upsells, ultimately measured by Net Revenue Retention (NRR) in addition to supporting successful Pilot to Subscription Conversions for acquiring new business.
The levers the Research Director role owns to influence these key business objectives are:
Research Success → Ensuring Knit Customers successfully achieve their desired research outcomes through their projects with Knit, measured by successfully achieving Research Objectives and delivering on Knit’s Quality & Speed service-level agreements (SLA’s)
Serving as the dedicated research lead for all customers’ projects (on assigned accounts) and serving as the ultimate accountable part for research project success
Driving and documenting in-depth project scoping to uncover a deep understanding of research objectives and project context to set up project success
Demonstrate a growth mindset as a solutions architect for customers, educating them on Knit’s research capabilities, consulting with them to adjust for fringe requirements, and proposing solutions to maximize project success - escalating to Research Directors when needs exceed capabilities
Driving on feedback collection on “the last mile” - uncovering and documenting what happens after Knit delivers a project to when it’s “stakeholder ready,” supporting Knit’s product vision in getting to stakeholder ready reports
Required Skills & Experiences
Must have 5+ years of market research 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 and supporting 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.
