The posting

Research Manager – APAC

Bolt Insight is looking for an experienced and consultative Research Manager to lead our growing presence across the APAC region. This is a senior, client-facing research role at the forefront of AI-moderated consumer insight; and a genuine opportunity to help build something from the ground up. If you understand APAC markets, love turning complex data into decisions, and want to work at the cutting edge of how insight is done, we want to hear from you.

Why This Role, Why Now

APAC is a strategic priority for us. We have clients across Southeast Asia and the broader region, and demand is growing faster than we can serve it from a distance. We need someone on the ground, someone who understands the nuance of APAC markets, builds genuine client relationships, and becomes a true research partner to the brands we work with. This is a localisation play as much as a growth play, and it is a rare chance to shape a regional practice rather than inherit one.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead research end-to-end: Design studies, manage fieldwork, drive analysis and deliver findings clients can act on. You take the brief and turn it into a well-structured study; you take the data and turn it into a clear, confident story. Across quantitative and qualitative methods, the quality of the work is yours to own.
  • Partner with the Commercial Lead: Work closely with the APAC commercial lead throughout the full client lifecycle, from scoping and proposal through to delivery and debrief. Be consultative, responsive and invested in outcomes, not just outputs.
  • Build client relationships: You are the primary research contact for APAC clients. Understand their businesses, anticipate their needs and proactively bring ideas to the table. Clients should feel like they have a genuine research partner, not a vendor.
  • Sharpen how we work: Develop processes and standards that make delivery more consistent as we scale. Identify what can be done better and implement it.
  • Connect locally, think globally: Work closely with research, product and client teams across our regional offices, feeding regional context back into the global team and ensuring APAC is well represented in how we build and deliver.

What We're Looking For

  • 5–8 years in consumer or market research, with strong client-facing experience in an agency or consultancy setting
  • Solid quantitative research skills - survey design, fieldwork, analysis and reporting; qualitative exposure is a plus
  • Genuinely consultative and a natural problem solver; you dig into the business problem, not just the brief
  • A confident storyteller who makes findings land and drives decisions, not just informs them
  • Comfortable working across multiple APAC markets and time zones
  • High initiative, you spot what needs building and you own it
  • Commercially curious and energised by growth
  • Excellent written and spoken English; additional APAC language capability is a plus
  • Genuinely excited about where AI is taking the research industry

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
