About Us:
GlobeScan is a global insights and advisory firm specializing in trust, sustainability, and engagement.
We equip companies, NGOs, and governmental organizations with the insights they need to make sense of their rapidly changing world and respond to shifting societal and stakeholder expectations. We help our clients craft evidence-led strategies that reduce risks and create value for themselves and society.
Our purpose is to co-create a sustainable and equitable future. Our international footprint, expertise, and track record allow us to work with influential clients to tackle the world’s challenges.
About You
We are seeking an Associate / Senior Associate with two years of experience in areas such as market research, stakeholder engagement, or consulting to join our APAC team. This position is based in either of GlobeScan’s Hong Kong or Singapore offices.
We are looking for a team member with a solid background in social science research fundamentals, an inquisitive mindset, and enthusiasm for working to create a more sustainable and equitable future.
