Freelance Market Research Analyst And Interviewer, Bulgaria

This position is for self-employed contract work only. All work is coordinated remotely. Market research, interview experience and fluency in English are key.

Euromonitor International is looking for a professional with a business background to support the fieldwork for our market research projects in Bulgaria. You will be:

• Engaged on short-term ad-hoc projects
• Supported on each by a project manager in one of our EMEAI offices.

Please note that the nature of our work is very ad hoc and there may long periods between projects so this is ideal for someone already freelancing with other clients and looking to expand.

This role will suit a self-starting and independent individual, who is looking for the flexibility of working from home. Experience within the financial field or FMCG/consumer service sectors is ideal.

As part of Euromonitor’s core methodology, our analysts gather relevant information from in-depth conversations with key industry decision makers. Success relies on researchers’ proactivity to recruit and secure interviews with the right contacts, and their ability to uncover key data and insights via open discussions.

Being ad-hoc, our projects can address different types of questions to deliver insightful business intelligence. Examples of this include:

• How much dairy was sold in Bulgaria in 2019? Why did sales increase/decline over the previous year?
• What companies are the leading players in the consumer finance market? What share of sales is held by the leading brands?
• What are the ideal channels for meal kits in Bulgaria?
• Why is company X doing better than company Y? What strategy is being employed and how is this supported operationally?

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Conducting interviews with key players along the value chain: manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, associations, government, etc.
• Researching contacts / networking to establish links in the industry.
• Reviewing and collecting information from secondary sources.
• Visiting retail stores to gather product information and speak to staff.
• Analysing quantitative (MS-Excel) and qualitative information.
• Hypothesis testing.
• Generating MS-Word and PowerPoint reports in English.
• Availability of min. 30 hours per week when actively engaged on a project
