What this role is all aboutSitting within the Analytics CoE, the Member Insight Manager will lead the evolution of Beem’s qualitative insight capability and help create a more complete understanding of our members;
connecting what they dowith why they do it, what they experience, and what they need. That understanding informs strategic planning, product development, segmentation and member experience decisions, and supports executive decision‑making and enterprise priorities.
This is an opportunity to move beyond a traditional project‑based research model and build a connected, proactive insight capability. The role will bring together research and ongoing member listening, make existing insight more accessible and reusable, and progressively connect qualitative insight with Beem’s quantitative analytics and member data. It will also continue to run Beem’s established member measurement programs and keep research aligned to enterprise planning cycles.
The role will build internal research capability, lay the foundations for an organizational insight base, and help make sure member understanding is consistently turned into better business decisions, priorities and outcomes.
This role is open to a hybrid working arrangement. While we will accept applications from elsewhere in Canada, we anticipate filling this role with a candidate located in British Columbia.
