Research Project Coordinator
Overview
maslansky + partners is the leader and creator of Language Strategy®. We find the right words to make audiences listen, care, and act, based on a simple but powerful idea: it’s not what you say, it’s what they hear®.
We are researchers, strategists, and writers who spend our days helping the world's most influential and innovative organizations harness the power of language to shape opinion and change behavior.
Clients look to us for the words that will help them win. To lift a brand or reframe a reputation. To energize an issue, introduce a product, or restore trust. To navigate a crisis or simplify the complex.
Are you a master organizer who thrives on managing multiple moving parts, building relationships, and ensuring projects succeed? We’re looking for a dynamic, detail-oriented coordinator to join our team and deliver exceptional research experiences for our clients.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Do:
- Orchestrate End-to-End Project Delivery: Manage all logistics and communications to ensure qualitative research projects run smoothly from initial planning through completion.
- Stakeholder Management: Serve as the key point of contact for internal teams, external vendors, and research participants—ensuring everyone is aligned and informed.
- Vendor & Partner Coordination: Identify and engage the best partners for each research initiative, negotiate pricing and timelines, and monitor progress to proactively resolve any challenges.
- Project Setup & Execution: Oversee the setup and execution of research methodologies (such as online or in-person interviews and focus groups), booking technology platforms and physical spaces as needed.
- Quality Assurance: Carefully review participant selection criteria and profiles, validate documentation, and ensure all deliverables meet our quality standards.
- Communication & Reporting: Provide clear, concise project updates and written summaries to internal stakeholders, highlighting project status, challenges, and solutions.
- Budget & Resource Management: Track project budgets, manage invoices, and ensure efficient use of resources.

- Excellent Communicator: You write and speak with clarity, tailoring your approach to different audiences and situations.
- Relationship Builder: You’re skilled at building trust and collaborating across internal teams and external partners.

- To be challenged and grow: Our structure is built to create opportunities for you to develop. We have small client teams that offer big opportunities. We are not a machine and you are not a cog. If you are good, you will not get lost…your contribution will be recognized and rewarded. We’ll make you a stronger strategic thinker, a better writer, and a more confident presenter, as part of a culture focused on feedback and committed to personal growth. Everyone is assigned a coach/mentor with a stake in your career development.
- To make an impact: We actively look for opportunities to complement our corporate work with opportunities to support causes we care about. From our partnership with PENCIL to our Project Good Words program, we want to use our passion and expertise to support causes that matter.
