Job description
DescriptionPosition Summary:
The Manager – Customer Research & Insights is a high-impact role for a researcher who loves getting close to the customer, connecting dots others don't see, and influencing meaningful decisions across marketing, product, and operations.
You won't just "run research." You'll turn signals into strategy, helping Penske elevate customer experience across an entire ecosystem of transportation, logistics, and digital solutions.
If you want your work to be visible, valued, and woven directly into how a major enterprise grows — this is the place to do it.

- Own primary research endtoend — discovery, design, execution, analysis, and storytelling.
- Deliver a mix of quantitative and qualitative programs: surveys, interviews, concept testing, segmentation, journey work, and more.
- Build clear, compelling narratives that highlight business implications, not just data points.
- Influence senior partners by helping them see opportunities, risks, and customer truths they wouldn't otherwise notice.
- Collaborate with marketing, product, and operations leaders to define learning agendas and answer the questions that matter most.
- Bring a point of view and help teams make smarter decisions faster.
- Synthesize insights from primary research, secondary sources, and enterprise data systems into a unified customer view.
- Introduce fresh methodologies, tools, and thinking that push Penske's insights practice forward.
- Manage vendors and guide junior team members to ensure every project is delivered with excellence, speed, and clarity.

- Proficiency with tools like Qualtrics, SPSS (or similar), Excel, PowerPoint.
- Turning data into narratives that influence nonresearch stakeholders.
- Experience in B2B, operational environments, or hardtoreach audiences, a plus.
- Regular, predictable, full attendance is an essential function of the job
- Willingness to travel as necessary, work the required schedule, work at the specific location required, complete Penske employment application, submit to a background investigation (to include past employment, education, and criminal history) and drug screening are required.
- The physical and mental demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an associate to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
- The associate will be required to: read; communicate verbally and/or in written form; remember and analyze certain information; and remember and understand certain instructions or guidelines.
