Design hypothesis‑driven research frameworks that identify the right business questions before selecting methodologies.
Conduct and synthesize mixed‑methods research, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, to uncover cultural and consumer trends.
Translate insights into compelling sales narratives, strategic positioning, and "why Reddit" stories that support advertiser acquisition and revenue growth.
Help brands understand how to succeed on Reddit through culturally informed audience and platform insights.
Support both advertiser growth and consumer growth initiatives by identifying opportunities to strengthen Reddit’s market position across EMEA.
Contribute to brand strategy development, positioning work, perception studies, and Jobs‑to‑be‑Done (JTBD) frameworks.
Surface culturally relevant regional insights that inform marketing, communications, and growth strategies.
Develop a nuanced understanding of online communities, subcultures, and evolving social behaviors across fragmented EMEA markets.
Act as a subject‑matter expert on Reddit communities, internet culture, and platform behavior within the German and broader EMEA media landscape.
Create sharp, provocative, insight‑led narratives that challenge conventional thinking and inspire action.
Represent Reddit at industry events, client presentations, keynote sessions, and thought‑leadership opportunities.
Influence senior stakeholders through concise, commercially relevant storytelling and strategic recommendations.

Excellent qualitative methods skills (ethnography, focus groups, moderated and AI‑moderated interviews, social listening).
Native or fully fluent German and English language proficiency required; French is a plus.
Proven experience working in stakeholder‑facing insights, strategy, analytics, or research teams within media owners, agencies, or platform organizations.
