Assistant Research Manager

Senior Research Executive / Assistant Research Manager
Asia Plus Inc. (Q&Me) - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam · On-site · Full-time
Who we are
Q&Me is the market research service of Asia Plus Inc., a tech-oriented research company headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City. We run Vietnam's largest online panel with 700,000+ members, a nationwide network of 700+ fieldworkers connected in real time through our own mobile platform, and CLT facilities in both HCM and Hanoi. Every project runs on technology we built ourselves, with no middlemen between us and the consumer.
Our clients are Japanese, Korean, and multinational brands across F&B, beauty, automotive, retail, finance, and electronics - companies like Acecook, Toyota, Panasonic, Masan, and Ajinomoto. We are a team of researchers who own their projects end to end, not a factory where design, fieldwork, and reporting sit in separate silos.
What you'll do
Own research projects from design through execution to final reporting - questionnaire design, sampling, fieldwork coordination, data analysis, and client presentation
Write and defend research proposals: translate a client's business question into a methodology, scope, and price that stands up to scrutiny
Work directly with clients as their research counterpart, not through a layer of account management
Partner with our fieldwork and data teams to keep quality high and timelines tight
Turn data into a story the client can act on - we are judged on insight, not tables
What we're looking for
2-5 years of experience in market research (agency side preferred) or a client-side insights role
Based in Ho Chi Minh City, or ready to relocate
Working proficiency in both English and Vietnamese - you'll write reports and present in both
Comfortable with quantitative data: crosstabs, significance testing, sizing logic
Experience with qualitative methods (IDI/FGD) is a plus, not a requirement
Self-directed. You'll be given real ownership early and expected to use it
Why join us
Direct client exposure from day one - you present your own work
Broad category exposure across 17+ verticals in one of Asia's fastest-moving consumer markets
We build our own research technology, including AI-assisted analysis tools, and researchers help shape it
A flat team where good thinking gets heard regardless of title
