Stealth Startup: Digital Strategist / Growth Researcher (R&D Lab)

Digital Strategist / Growth Researcher (R&D Lab)

A new, non-profit media fund is launching a new R&D lab dedicated to testing and exploring emerging social media platforms. To power this lab, we are building a team of researchers capable of designing and running scrappy experiments on new apps to ensure our movement takes an early lead in the digital landscape.

We are looking for Digital Strategists who are analytical, data-driven, and comfortable navigating the "wild west" of new platforms. The ideal candidates will possess:
• Holistic Research Skills: Proficiency in both desk research (identifying rapid-growth platforms and macro trends) and field research (conceptualizing and executing live pilots).
• Experimental Mindset: The ability to design and run lean experiments to test hypotheses and determine platform viability.
• Strategic Synthesis: A knack for turning data and observations into actionable playbooks that define how the organization and the broader movement can pioneer work on new frontiers.

Details:
• Duration: Part-time for ~3 months, with the opportunity to extend.
• Focus: Mapping the next generation of social media and securing a first-mover advantage for progressive messaging.
