Senior Survey Research Manager, Student Insights

The Company You’ll Join: It is our mission to create an exceptional firm that betters the world of work. Through granular candidate insights, in-depth employer benchmarking, continuous market pulses, actionable strategies, and recruiting feedback platforms, the team at Veris Insights is advancing the way companies across North America approach recruiting, employer branding, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), and talent management. We work with hundreds of Fortune 1000 organizations to help them solve their hardest talent challenges and it is our aspiration to be nothing less than the single, unequivocal best partner to every one of these leaders in that pursuit. The Team You’ll Join: Veris Insights’ University Recruiting Syndicated Research function develops data-driven insights that help talent leaders navigate the early career recruiting landscape. Our work informs how leading employers attract, engage, and hire early career talent through large-scale survey research paired with practical, strategic analysis. As a Senior Project Manager, you will own our student research workstream. Student Pulse is a monthly survey program that powers a portfolio of high-engagement studies used widely by our members. These studies run continuously throughout the year, with rotating survey modules aligned to quarterly priorities with outputs delivered through dashboards and executive-ready reports. Your role is to ensure this system runs with precision while continuing to evolve thoughtfully over time. This is a researcher-first role with direct people management responsibility. You will lead the design, execution, and output of these studies end-to-end, while guiding a mid-career researcher in producing high-quality work across survey design, analysis, and deliverables. You are accountable for the quality and consistency of all outputs, ensuring they reflect clear, insight-driven narratives and an exceptionally high bar for execution. How You’ll Grow: In this role, you will take full ownership of a scaled research product, building expertise across the entire lifecycle from survey design through final deliverables. You’ll strengthen your ability to translate data into clear points of view and deliver high-quality outputs at scale. You’ll partner with the Director of UR Research to align on priorities and direction, while owning execution independently. Growth in this role comes from building a system that runs with consistency and continuously improving it over time. As you build stability within Student Pulse, you will expand your scope to help shape how our student panel evolves, contributing to how we improve engagement, maintain representativeness, and strengthen research quality. You will also grow as a people leader through direct management of a mid-career researcher supporting Student Pulse, developing your ability to guide execution, provide feedback, and uphold a high bar for quality.
