Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid. In office Monday, Wednesday, and Friday)

Role Type: Part-Time / Internship

Department: Strategy and Content

The Opportunity

We are a fast-growing digital marketing agency that works across dozens of industries, from home services and healthcare to legal and real estate. We are looking for a curious, driven Market Research Analyst to join our team on a part-time or internship basis.

This is not a passive data-entry role. You will own real research projects that directly shape the strategy and content our team uses every day. Your findings will inform how we position clients, write better copy, and win new business.

You do not need agency experience. We are looking for sharp, self-directed researchers who take pride in finding the real answer, not just the first one.

Why This Role Matters

Good research is the foundation of everything we do at Intellibright. When we understand an industry deeply, we write better content, build smarter strategies, and win more for our clients. When we do not, everything downstream suffers.

This role exists because we take research seriously. We want someone in this seat who is genuinely curious, rigorous in their process, and proud of getting the answer right. If that is you, the work you do here will shape how we serve clients across dozens of industries.

If you are excited by the idea of becoming an expert in industries you have never worked in, and helping a real agency perform better because of what you find, we would love to meet you.

How To Apply

Send your resume and a brief note (3 to 5 sentences is fine) explaining what draws you to research and how you approach a topic you know nothing about.

We review every application. We look forward to hearing from you.
