The Opportunity

Do you like to geek out about movies? Do you have more than a casual interest in all things film? An eye for detail and teasing a story out of numbers? We want you! 

The Trends & Futures team is looking for a Research Analyst or Senior Analyst to join our growing and dynamic group. In this role, you will support NRG’s flagship Tracking products—the industry standard for measuring awareness, interest, and intent to see theatrical films—providing studios with critical insights into the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns. You will also contribute to other film-related initiatives as needed. 

  

You’ll have the opportunity to work with industry experts and have frequent and ongoing interactions with clients across the theatrical space. The Trends & Futures team is a lean and mean group, where everyone has an opinion, and all opinions are heard. No egos here. 

  

Working with members of the Trends & Futures team, you’ll have the opportunity to pitch in on the full 360 of the product lines from operations to analysis, including participating in the forecasting process. You will play a key role in our Global Tracking efforts, which cover 12 markets worldwide including the US, with a strong focus on international regions.  

 

As an Analyst or Senior Analyst on the team, you’re going to be immersed in a core part of NRG’s growing business, asked to learn a lot, and deliver to a high level. This role has a lot of career growth potential and upside. 

Your Impact

• Support all phases of quantitative research projects, including research design, questionnaire development, data analysis and storytelling. The role will primarily focus on quantitative studies. 

• Translate research data into clear, actionable insights and recommendations through story-driven reports.  

• Partner with internal and external operations teams (programming, fieldwork, data processing) to drive projects forward on stringent timelines.  

• Build relationships through effectively managing day-to-day client interaction and helping solve client issues and concerns.  

• Troubleshoot any issues that arise in an efficient and effective manner.   

• Drive successful project execution, collaborating with senior team members in US and London and drive quality control processes at each step of the research lifecycle, from checking survey programming logic, questionnaire proofing, and proofing reports and presentations for accuracy.   

• Handle other administrative tasks as needed. 

Who We're Looking For

• Experience – Prior internship or work experience in market research or consumer insights is preferred, especially within the film or broader entertainment industry. If you don’t have direct experience, we’d love to hear about academic quantitative research projects — especially those related to film, entertainment, or audience behavior — such as primary survey research or other relevant work. 

• Your degree(s) – Ideally looking for a BA/BSc degree with a strong academic record, and with a degree in areas such as Film, Social Sciences, Business, Marketing, Market Research, Statistics, Economics or a related field. Additional degrees are welcome! 

• Passion – An enthusiasm for research, data driven approaches, and strategic thinking. You live and breathe all things film and enjoy staying up to date on industry trends and developments. Small talking or deep diving on entertainment, specifically in film, fuels you.  

• Research practitioner – Experience with and flexibility to work on quantitative projects preferred.  

• Curiosity and critical thinking – You are genuinely interested in seeking information on the “whys.” You have the ability to address issues using cre
