Market Research Intern-to-hire – Gaming & Technology Insights (Dallas – In-Person)

Role
We’re looking for an Intern based in the local Dallas area to join our growing team and participate in exciting projects with a variety of clients! 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 requires a minimum of 3-month commitment to be considered for a full-time offer or internship extension. The internship will expect any candidates to be available to come to our Plano office location. 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 either a recent graduate or 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.
