Your new employer: The Up-and-Coming Market Research Firm that can Build Your Entrepreneurial Skillset

Led directly by it's ambitious, well-connected yet humble leader, this agency stemmed from the seven years of on-going success of its mother company. Based originally in Australia, your new employer set its sights on Singapore with the goal to challenge the key players in the region, straying away from the existing traditional data analytics business model and instead looking into the potential of the online and digital sector. 

The goal is simple: To expand and build the business. With a product that's currently in play, and an online panel that is brimming with untapped insights, this company is always on the lookout for “the next big thing” in the data space.

What it needs now are talents that can keep up with this pace. The owner of this company believes that nobody should have to tell you what you can or can't do – it's simply a matter of what you want to achieve, and how he can help you achieve it. The culture of this company is not to push yourself to the limit but to work smart and be strategic; to place all right pieces in all the right boxes and strike when the timing is right.
