ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Research Associate at CryptoMize you will plan and conduct research across live engagements — managing the data, running the interviews,



and producing the publications for political communication that summarise campaigns in reports, presentations, and policy documents. You monitor the progress of research projects and coordinate information between departmental sections, because research that arrives late or duplicated is research that did not happen.

Landscape studies are the core product: conceptualising the study, analysing data from various sources, and delivering the analysis that drives overall campaign strategy and narrative. The associate’s name is on the finding when the strategy desk acts on it — which is why provenance discipline and source evaluation are standing duties, not aspirations.

Associates here also build the infrastructure their own future work runs on: constructing and maintaining databases with the data-engineering cell, and identifying new resources and methods the research function can use. The associates whose infrastructure outlasts their engagements are the ones promoted first.

03Seniority ladder

Research Associate — seniority path at CryptoMize

Associates advance by the quality of the findings their research produces, not tenure. The ladder below is how the research cell is actually organized.

- Research Associate

Produces research for one to two engagements — landscape studies, publications, and the coordination between sections.

1/4

- Senior Research Associate

Designs the studies rather than only running them, quality-assures associate output, and presents findings directly to engagement leadership.

2/4

- Research Lead

Runs the cell — its project portfolio, its standards, and the research pipeline every campaign and governance mandate draws on.

3/4

- Political Strategist track

The crossover route: associates whose landscape studies shape campaign narrative graduate into the strategy seat itself.
