About Benchline Reports
Benchline Reports publishes independent benchmark reports and market research for businesses. Our goal is to publish the benchmark reports that businesses trust and reuse: independent, rigorous and clear. Every report shows the method and source behind every number, so a reader can check the work. We are based at 30 Hudson Yards in New York and we are growing our research team to raise that bar.
Why Join Us
- Your name is on research that decision makers read and use.
- A high bar on method: no number goes out without a traceable source.
- Independence: we publish findings as the data shows them.
- Full-time or part-time, and remote, hybrid or on-site: you choose what fits.
- A central New York office at 30 Hudson Yards for those who want it.
- A small, growing team where your work shapes how reports are made.
The Role
We are hiring a Senior Researcher with 5 or more years of experience to own the research behind our benchmark reports, from the first question to the published page. You will design studies, collect and analyze data, write findings for business readers and hold the team to a high standard of accuracy. You will work with the team lead and report to the head of research.
Responsibilities
Research design
- Turn a business question into a research plan with a clear scope, method, sample and timeline.
- Choose the right approach for each study: secondary research, primary surveys, interviews or a mix.
- Define the metrics and benchmarks a report will measure, and how each one is calculated.
Data collection and analysis
- Collect data from public sources, industry databases, filings and primary surveys.
- Clean and validate datasets, and flag gaps, outliers and weak sources.
- Run descriptive and comparative analysis, and basic statistical tests where they apply.
- Document every step so another researcher can repeat the work and reach the same result.
Reporting
- Write report sections, summaries and methodology notes in plain, precise language.
- Build benchmark tables and charts a business reader can use at a glance.
- Trace every figure to a source and keep a source log for each report.
Quality and team
- Review other researchers' work for accuracy, method and clarity before publication.
- Mentor junior researchers and analysts.
- Keep datasets, sources and templates organized and up to date.
- Present findings to the team and, when needed, to clients and partners.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in economics, statistics, business, finance, data science, social science or a related field.
- 5 or more years of professional experience in market research, business or industry analysis, benchmarking, consulting or a similar research role.
- Proven record of delivering research reports or analyses that others relied on.
- Advanced skills in Excel or Google Sheets, including pivot tables, lookups and data cleaning.
- Working knowledge of at least 1 of SQL, Python or R for data analysis.
- Strong written English, with clear, concise and well-sourced writing.
- Sound judgment on source quality, and the confidence to say when a number is weak.
- Ability to manage several projects at once and meet deadlines.
Preferred
- Master's degree in a relevant field.
- Experience with survey design and tools, and with sampling and weighting.
- Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI or Looker Studio.
- Experience writing published research, white papers or industry reports.
- Familiarity with industry, financial or company databases.
Skills and Qualities
- Analytical and curious, with attention to detail.
- Organized, with a habit of documenting work.
- Collaborative, and comfortable giving and receiving feedback.
- Independent: able to take a question from idea to finished report.
