About the role

What we are building at Conveo

Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer and B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Apple use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing and product teams.

#1 What problem are we solving, and why does this matter

The current research methods companies rely on are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research also requires expertise, which is a blocker to many companies. That directly affects how well companies understand their customers — and how well they can serve them. We're fixing that. But great technology alone isn't enough. Behind every well-run study is someone making sure things actually happen. That's where you come in.

#2 The team you will join

You will join an extremely talented team of incredibly passionate, high-energy people. We go the extra mile while having the best time of our lives. Our team combines decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies. You'll sit within the research team, working closely with Research Insight Leads and Client Success to keep projects running smoothly.

#3 How we operate

We truly care about our clients and the problem we solve. That means we humbly go the extra mile every time.

We work hard, and we have fun.

To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team.

The Role

As a Research Ops Associate at Conveo, you will be the operational backbone of our research projects. Your job is to make sure studies run on time, participants are recruited, and guides are checked - so nothing falls through the cracks.

This is not a passive coordination role. We're looking for someone who is self-motivated, figures things out independently, and gets things done without needing constant direction. You will own day-to-day delivery and support senior researchers and client success managers, building the operational habits that make great research repeatable. The best people in this role will grow into Research or Client Success functions over time.

Your Mission

Manage participant recruitment end-to-end

  • Coordinate recruitment across panel providers to ensure the right participants are sourced for each study

  • Monitor recruitment progress, track quotas, and flag issues early - including slow recruitment, quality concerns, or participant drop-off

  • Review participant interviews for quality and fraud signals, ensuring only valid responses are counted

  • Liaise with panel partners to troubleshoot issues and keep studies on track

Keep study quality high

  • Review and quality-check discussion guides before studies go live, making sure they're accurate, well-structured, and ready for participants

  • Complete quality assurance tasks across active projects, catching errors before they become problems

  • Support Research Insight Leads in maintaining the high standard Conveo is known for

Keep operations running smoothly

  • Track project status accurately across multiple live studies at once

  • Communicate clearly and proactively within the team — raising risks early and keeping everyone informed

  • Build and maintain good operational habits that make processes faster and more reliable over time

What we are looking for

Non-negotiables

  • A proven self-starter — show us something you taught yourself, built, or figured out on your own

  • Smart, determined, and ready to roll your sleeves up

  • Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail

  • Strong communicator — clear, concise, and proactive

  • Comfortable working at pace in a fast-moving startup environment

  • Some experience or genuine interest in market research, consumer insights, or UX research

Mindset

  • Self-motivated — you don't need chasing, you need space

  • Ownership, not excuses

  • Detail-oriented but never slow

  • Low ego, high standards

  • Excited by AI and what it means for research

  • Here to grow — into research, into client success, into whatever comes next

Why join us

At Conveo, you'll join a team that genuinely enjoys working and spending time together. We care about building real relationships, not just great products. That's why we run quarterly team off-sites where we disconnect, reset, and have fun.

Plus:

  • A front-row seat at a hyper-growth, YC-backed AI company

  • Direct access to founders and senior operators from day one

  • A genuine path into research or client success as you grow

  • Competitive graduate-level salary

  • A culture built on taste, speed, ownership, and ambition

About Conveo

Our story so far:

Founded in 2024 as a better way to conduct qualitative interviews, Conveo quickly gained traction after going through the Summer 24 Y Combinator batch where we saw significant interest from Consumer Goods companies. After raising our $5.3m seed round, we executed closely with our customers to build the best qualitative market research platform centered around AI-moderated interviews. Since then we’ve expanded our scope, grown our team, and Today, we're seeing incredibly strong adoption and usage across Insights, marketing, innovation, and strategy teams in industries like: Consumer goods, Retail, Pharma, technology, and consumer services.

Background

  • We help companies understand their customers, giving us virtually unlimited market potential. The market research industry is valued at approximately $100B, with qualitative solutions representing a $30B opportunity. With AI enablement, this market is expanding rapidly. This is an infinite horizon problem.
  • Experienced team. Our head of research was the founder of a market research company with 600+ employees, our CEO previously co-founded a $75m ARR startup as CTO. Our commercial and operational teams bring their operational excellence from McKinsey, while our sales leadership includes former VPs from Ipsos.
  • We believe in forging deep collaborations with our customers. In just 15 months, we've landed deals with some of the world's largest companies that are quickly expanding their work with us, including Unilever, P&G, AB InBev, Nestlé, Google and many others. We are seeing many brands switch to us from our competitors. We’re a growing team passionate about solving real-world challenges in customer research, enabling companies to make user-informed decisions. We're looking for driven senior engineers who love working on complex systems, care about solving problems for users, and are excited to shape the future of AI-driven customer insights.
