Market Research Project Manager

Want to work in the business side of movies, theatre and sports? Welcome to ERm Research — a leader in market research in the entertainment sector. We use analytics to help our clients make the best content and best marketing decisions.

The sector has been hit incredibly hard by the pandemic, but we're finally getting ready to gear back up and are looking for some new members to join our team, starting with an exceptional project manager. If you have a go-getter attitude, incredible communication skills, like math (but like movies more), and have a killer karaoke routine, keep reading.

The project manager must be a strategic and critical thinker who is passionate about connecting the dots for our clients. You'll work extremely closely (well, socially distanced) with members of our team and clients, and immediately become an integral part of the company.

You'll also need exceptional time management skills and the ability to quickly jump on a task and see it through to completion in an extremely time-sensitive environment. This is a fast-paced position in which you will have the opportunity to play in multiple sandboxes. If you thrive under pressure, yet enjoy a tasty burrito on Tuesday and are not afraid to try our resident mixologist’s latest concoction then this is the position for you.
