Market Research Intern – Gaming & Technology Insights

Role
We’re looking for a part-time Intern to join our growing team and participate in exciting projects with a variety of clients! The weekly hour expectation should be less than 30 hours. This is a great opportunity to gain well-rounded experience with a leading consumer market research and consulting firm focused on the intersection of traditional and new media both domestically and internationally. This role is a 3-month internship that is remote and is perfect for anyone looking for a flexible work environment. Interpret will provide all necessary training. However, prior experience or coursework in market research and media/entertainment is a plus.

This role requires the ability to think critically, tell a story using data, provide top-notch client service, and work with a team of equally passionate technology and media enthusiasts. The ideal candidate is currently pursuing a social science research degree with a personal passion for market research, digital media, gaming, and technology. You will be responsible for helping ensure quality, client-ready deliverables, working with a team of smart, passionate analysts.

At Interpret, we consider ourselves fun scientists, and we’re searching for someone who holds a common love for the industries we work in, has a curiosity for consumer behavior, and wants to apply their analytic chops and methodological expertise to the game development and distribution process. A fun scientist is someone who thrives in a dynamic environment where your hobbies and personal passion for gaming, tech, and entertainment make work feel like, well, not work.
