Research Manager

ABOUT THE JOB

Founded in 2014 in the Netherlands, Beatgrid is the leading cross-media ad effectiveness measurement currency. Through all new cutting-edge cross-platform measurement technology, we eliminate guesswork in ad measurement and redefine how brands understand cross-media effectiveness. Using our proprietary single-source, person-based technology, we track actual ad exposures across TV, CTV, BVOD, digital, audio, and social—without reliance on outdated solutions such as IP-matching or modeled assumptions. Our Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) and Geofencing technology deliver deterministic, privacy-first insights, directly linking ad exposure to brand impact. Trusted by Amazon Ads, Google, McDonald’s, P&G, and Unilever, Beatgrid is reinventing the future of advertising with a new standard for cross-media measurement—driving clarity in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.

In this position, you will design, manage, and analyze cross-media advertising projects, both internal and external. You will also play a key role in client-facing interactions, requiring outstanding communication skills and the ability to independently write, analyze, and present research findings and advertising insights.
