We are seeking a highly organized, analytically minded Project Manager to lead operations for a portfolio of longitudinal panel studies focused on AI use, trust, safety, and well-being. These studies are central to understanding how AI is shaping people’s lives over time and informing product, policy, and research decisions.

This role will serve as the operational backbone for complex multi-wave studies, ensuring research is executed rigorously, ethically, and on schedule. You will work as part of a research team, and closely with legal and compliance partners, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders to build durable, high-quality research infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

Study Execution

• Lead delivery of multi-wave panel studies from launch through close
• Drive timelines, vendors, and cross-functional coordination
• Monitor fieldwork, retention, and data quality; resolve risks quickly
  
  

Governance & Compliance
