Insights Manager @Verso (backed by Hexa)

• Research quality, end-to-end. From the first brief call to the final debrief, you set the bar. You review AI outputs with a researcher's eye, enrich findings, and ensure every report earns client trust. - Study design and scoping. You help clients turn business questions into sharp research briefs. You advise on methodology, sample, market selection, and moderation approach, including what the AI needs to do well. - Client relationships that compound. You become the person clients want on their next study before the current one is over. You build long-term partnerships with insights, marketing, and product leaders who see Verso as their go-to research engine. - Our methodology and product direction. You feed the product team with real constraints, gaps, and opportunities you observe across studies. You help define what our AI should do better, and help articulate what makes our approach genuinely different. - The standard for how we operate. You build the frameworks, templates, and quality rituals that scale as Verso grows. You are not a lone expert; you are building a function. Who you are

• 5 to 10 years of qualitative research experience, whether at an agency, a consultancy, or an in-house insights team at a global brand

• You have run multi-market studies and know what makes a debrief land with a CMO versus a product team

• You write clearly, think structurally, and can build a narrative out of messy, contradictory data

• You are genuinely curious about what AI changes for our field, not just as a tool but as a methodological shift

• You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and care about the craft of research more than the comfort of process

• Fluent in French and English; additional languages are a real plus given our market footprint

This role is for you if:

• You care deeply about the craft of qualitative research and want to redefine it in the age of AI
• You’re excited by a blank page and the idea of setting the standard, not following one

This role is not for you if:

• You’re looking for a purely executional role with clear processes and limited ambiguity

What makes this role unusual

• You join when the product is young enough that your instincts will shape its direction

• You will work on studies that span across industries

• You will sit at the table when we decide how AI-assisted qualitative research should work, not just use a tool someone else designed

• You are an early member of a team building the Consumer Intelligence OS for global brands. That means real ownership, real impact, and a trajectory that grows with Verso. Recruitment process

• Intro call with Hexa's Talent team (30 minutes)

• Fit call with Lydia to understand your background (30 minutes)

• A real-life research scenario to assess how you structure a brief, analyze insights, and build a narrative (take-home and 45 minutes restitution with Lydia and Pierre, lead PM )

• Deep-dive interview with Lydia and Camille to go deeper on your experience, thinking, and how you’d shape the role (45 minutes)

*Verso is committed to creating a diverse environment.
