Marketing Analyst Jobs

What is market research?

A marketing analyst is heavily involved in the process of market research - i.e., the operation in gathering, recording and analysing information about customers and potential customers, and then applying that to future marketing strategy.

Careers in market research

Market researchers often come from highly academic backgrounds, as they are experienced with researching and analysing data to present informed conclusions. However, some experience involved in collecting this kind of information, for example as some sort of surveyor or telephone interviewer, would help a candidate's job prospects. A degree in a particular area is often unnecessary, but aptitude that can be shown for understanding and presenting statistics is essential.

Market research jobs

There are many opportunities for market researchers, either as consultants or employees within large organisations or agencies. Day-to-day activities may vary according to seniority and at what stage a project is at. It also depends on whether the job is specialised: while a market research assistant would perform most of the legwork in collating the data, a market research analyst might be more focused on the actual drawing out of conclusions.
