About the Job
We publish market research reports covering food, beverage, and FMCG categories across the Asia-Pacific region. Our APAC coverage is growing, and we are investing in regional expertise to match. This role exists to bring genuine on-the-ground knowledge into everything we publish — ensuring our research captures the real nuance and diversity of Asia's markets.
This is a quality-first role at the centre of our APAC research operation. You will shape how our reports are written, reviewed, and delivered — working closely with our global writing team and directly with clients. It is a role with real ownership and a clear path toward broader regional research leadership.
This role is fully remote. We are looking for candidates based in Singapore, which provides the right timezone coverage across all APAC markets.

Your Qualifications
3–6 years of experience in market research, consumer insights, or category management within F&B, FMCG, or a related industry in Asia

Fluent English and at least one Asian language; Mandarin is strongly preferred
Comfortable reviewing and critiquing analytical reports written by others, and giving clear, constructive feedback
Confident presenting research findings to international clients and senior stakeholders
Organized and detail-oriented — able to manage multiple reports and deadlines simultaneously
