Research Associate

Change Logic is an innovation and change consulting firm founded by Professor Michael Tushman (HBS) and Professor Charles O’Reilly (Stanford). We are seeking a Research Associate to support our partners with a writing project.

We need someone who can do primary and desk research, synthesize a point of view and present it coherently in writing. We want someone based in the Boston-area that is interested in an initial 6-month contract, with the option to extend. Work starts in April.

You may be a former management consultant, a graduate student in business or related discipline, or come from another background entirely.

Candidates should demonstrate evidence of the following:

• Writing – can write a good synthesis of research findings; grammar and beautiful prose are secondary to the capacity to articulate a point of view and support it with evidence.
• Researching – knows how to leverage multiple data sources – qualitative and quantitative – and has the imagination to develop unexpected insights.
• Analytics – is sufficiently numerate to do simple data analysis to support research where appropriate
• Content – knowledge of innovation practices in large corporations (e.g., design thinking, lean-agile, etc.)
• Learning – you will need to come up to speed with our research and distinctive point of view quickly
• Global savvy – this is a no travel role, but we need someone aware of the rest of the world. If you don’t have a passport don’t apply.

We do fascinating work at senior levels in global corporations, as well as publishing research in books and journals, such as the Harvard Business Review.

We are a fun, demanding firm, with a lot of smart, articulate people that enjoy working with one another. The role is home-based, with attendance at occasional meetings in our Boston office.

Hours are open to discussion. We have health and retirement plans available should you join the permanent staff. Please include a resume and cover letter explaining why you are the right candidate. Please do not submit a generic application, as these will be ignored. Applications via LinkedIn or to recruitment@change-logic.com. If we do not reply within 7 days, please assume that we do not wish to pursue your application. Interviews, to include a writing test, will be held in Boston in late March.
