Redpoint Insights - Senior Research Writer & Strategist

Own survey-based research projects from strategy through final report.

Full-time or part-time, remote, with 4 hours of overlap with US Mountain Time. $3,500–$4,500/month for full-time – Apply now!

Hey there! I’m Becky, founder of Redpoint Insights. We’re a boutique marketing agency based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that helps B2B tech companies bring thoughtful, insight-driven content to market. We specialize in original research, data-driven storytelling, and long-form thought leadership for enterprise and midmarket tech brands.

At Redpoint, we believe the best content starts with strong ideas and research. Our team is made up of curious, self-motivated people who enjoy asking good questions, managing multiple projects, and always looking for ways to improve. If you enjoy conducting research, interviewing, data storytelling, thinking critically, improving your craft, simplifying complex ideas and products for audiences, and collaborating in a high-trust environment, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re looking for a Senior Research Writer & Strategist who can own original research projects from strategy through to the final report. This isn’t a “write from a brief” role. You’ll work directly with clients to shape research approaches, contribute to survey design, interpret quantitative findings, uncover the strongest story in the data, and turn those findings into compelling, narrative-driven reports.

You’ll work closely with Redpoint’s data analysts and research operations team throughout the process. Initially, you’ll personally write the majority of Redpoint’s research reports. As the company grows and expands its bench of freelance writers, you’ll also help establish editorial standards, mentor other writers, and make sure every research deliverable meets Redpoint’s quality bar.

Research will be your primary focus, but you may occasionally support blogs, case studies, and other thought leadership content when the wider team needs additional help.

In this role, you will:

Write narrative-driven research reports that transform complex survey data into compelling B2B thought leadership

Identify the central story within the data, separating meaningful insight from background noise

Interpret quantitative findings and crosstab data to uncover trends, implications, and strong report angles

Own research projects from start to finish, including client kickoffs, research strategy, survey development, analysis, writing, and final delivery

Lead client strategy sessions, present research findings, gather feedback, and confidently guide senior marketing and business leaders

Challenge assumptions and recommend the strongest narrative, rather than simply summarising the available findings

Develop clear report structures that change how readers think about a topic, not just what they know

⚙️ Work with AI-assisted first drafts, using your judgment to refine the narrative, interpret the data, and ensure the final work reflects genuine strategic thinking

✅ Review research reports and briefs for analytical rigour, narrative strength, clarity, and editorial quality

✍️ Occasionally contribute to blogs, case studies, and other content projects when additional support is needed

Help Redpoint grow its research practice by establishing editorial standards and, over time, mentoring additional research writers

Working Hours ⏰: This is a remote contractor role that can be full-time or part-time. You’ll need at least 4 hours of working-time overlap with US Mountain Time so that you can attend client calls and collaborate with the Redpoint team.

Because this is a senior, client-facing role, you’ll have a high degree of ownership and autonomy over how your work is planned and delivered. You’ll still need to meet agreed deadlines and be available for client and internal meetings when required.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

✅ 5+ years of experience in content strategy, research, journalism, analyst work, or a related role

✅ Experience writing reports, white papers, or thought leadership based on original quantitative survey data

✅ Confidence reviewing crosstab data, identifying meaningful findings, and developing a compelling narrative from the results

✅ Exceptional editorial judgment, including knowing which findings should lead, which should support the story, and which should be left out

✅ Strong narrative writing ability and a journalistic mindset—you don’t simply summarise findings, you build an evidence-based story

✅ Experience leading client calls and presenting strategic recommendations to senior marketing or business leaders

✅ B2B technology content experience and the ability to translate technical concepts into clear, accessible language

✅ Strong independent and strategic thinking—you can develop the angle, structure, and narrative from a dataset or broad topic without waiting for a detailed outline

✅ Comfort owning research projects end-to-end, from initial strategy through to the final report

✅ Confidence working with numbers, data tables, and statistical findings

✅ Willingness to work with, direct, and substantially improve AI-assisted first drafts

✅ A proactive and self-managed approach, with the ability to handle feedback and changing timelines transparently

Bonus Points for:

Experience as an analyst or writer at a research firm such as Forrester, Gartner, IDC, or a smaller equivalent

Agency experience, particularly within B2B content or research services

A journalism background involving data-led or investigative reporting

Experience as an in-house content marketing manager responsible for both strategy and execution

Experience with survey design, research methodology, or market research operations

You’re the kind of person who can look at a dataset and quickly recognise the story worth telling. You ask thoughtful questions, challenge weak assumptions, and know the difference between an interesting statistic and a meaningful insight. You’re confident working directly with clients, take ownership of the full process, and care deeply about producing clear, rigorous, and genuinely useful research.

What’s in it for you?

$3,500–$4,500 per month*

Full-time and fully remote

20 days paid time off, plus public holidays 

✍️ Opportunity to write high-impact content for major B2B tech brands

Long-term role with room to grow alongside the business

Close collaboration with a supportive founder and great clients

Variety of projects across different technologies and industries
