Research Ops Associate
What we are building at Conveo
Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer and B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Apple use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing and product teams.
#1 What problem are we solving, and why does this matter
The current research methods companies rely on are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research also requires expertise, which is a blocker to many companies. That directly affects how well companies understand their customers — and how well they can serve them. We're fixing that. But great technology alone isn't enough. Behind every well-run study is someone making sure things actually happen. That's where you come in.
#2 The team you will join
You will join an extremely talented team of incredibly passionate, high-energy people. We go the extra mile while having the best time of our lives. Our team combines decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies. You'll sit within the research team, working closely with Research Insight Leads and Client Success to keep projects running smoothly.
#3 How we operate
We truly care about our clients and the problem we solve. That means we humbly go the extra mile every time.
We work hard, and we have fun.
To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team.
The Role
As a Research Ops Associate at Conveo, you will be the operational backbone of our research projects. Your job is to make sure studies run on time, participants are recruited, and guides are checked - so nothing falls through the cracks.
This is not a passive coordination role. We're looking for someone who is self-motivated, figures things out independently, and gets things done without needing constant direction. You will own day-to-day delivery and support senior researchers and client success managers, building the operational habits that make great research repeatable. The best people in this role will grow into Research or Client Success functions over time.

Monitor recruitment progress, track quotas, and flag issues early - including slow recruitment, quality concerns, or participant drop-off
Review participant interviews for quality and fraud signals, ensuring only valid responses are counted
Liaise with panel partners to troubleshoot issues and keep studies on track
Keep study quality high
