• Data processing: transform, clean, and validate datasets; maintain version control and decision logs for transparency.
• Data quality & integrity (MR data): process, clean and verify data, applying data quality control measures at every stage of the process. Execute documented checks specific to market research (consistency, quotas, logic rules, duplicate removal, outlier and straight-lining/AI detection, open-ends).
• Bring data to life with the Potloc tool: create and configure dashboards for clear and accurate visualization.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with the Product and Engineering teams to resolve tickets, fix bugs and optimize the Potloc App.
• Coordinate partners: run the translation workflow with vendors (briefs, turnaround times, glossaries/style guides, file readiness, quick quality review). After cleaning, lead reconciliation with partners to close gaps before sign-off.
• Use and help build AI workflows: use AI for routine tasks (data quality, translation, coding, etc.). On side initiatives, partner with Product/Engineering to test, give feedback, and suggest small automations.
• Manage respondent compensation: oversee compensation on social networks, ensuring it is accurate, on time and on budget. (via Tremendous).
