Research Project Coordinator

New York

 

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.

Qualifications

Who You Are:

  • Experienced Coordinator: You have 3+ years’ experience managing projects, logistics, or client services—ideally in research, consulting, events, or similar fast-paced environments.
  • Detail-Oriented Organizer: You thrive on managing details, timelines, and competing priorities—keeping projects (and people) on track.
  • 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.
  • Proactive Problem-Solver: You anticipate issues and find solutions before they become problems.
  • Tech-Savvy Operator: You’re comfortable using Excel and learning new project management or collaboration tools.

Four reasons to join the maslansky + partners team:

  1. To never be bored: When you join our team, you don’t get stuck with a single client. You work across industries with diverse clients like JP Morgan Chase, Merck, Meta, Amgen, and many others. You also work on a wide range of challenges, allowing you to see everything from brand positioning to crisis communication, issue advocacy to internal communication.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. To have a good time: We do serious work but never take ourselves too seriously. The best work gets done when great people like working together so that is the kind of culture we’ve created. Lots of work and lots of fun to help you stay energized and engaged. The position includes all the standards like competitive compensation, health, vision, and dental insurance, paid time off, bonuses, 401k plans. Oh…and free lunch on Mondays

The anticipated salary range for this position is $65,000 – $75,000. This role is also eligible for
an annual discretionary bonus.

The position includes all the standards like competitive compensation, health, vision, and dental insurance, paid time off, bonuses, 401k plans.  Oh…and free lunch on Mondays!

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
