Senior Manager, Insights

Dig Insights is an innovation intelligence company that helps brands find the next sources of growth for their business, and predict which opportunities are most likely to be successful. We’ve been around for 16+ years, and we’ve taken our expertise in innovation insights and turned it into a technology-driven, predictive model for consumer brands.

Our clients span verticals including CPG, QSR, retail, technology, financial services, and telecommunications. Our work is led by a team of over 250 strategists, insights consultants, developers, and data scientists. We work for a global client base out of offices in Toronto, Chicago, London, and Singapore.

Since we started in 2010, we’ve been focused on setting a new standard for the insights industry – challenging the traditional model and building for what comes next. That means hiring people who are bright, creative, resourceful, and kind. People who succeed at Dig are curious, question established norms and are passionate about helping our clients to move their businesses forward. If you want to join a team that takes themselves just seriously enough to produce great work, we’d love to welcome you.
