  • You've applied your moderating talents in the auto industry for at least 5 years, and are at the point where clients specifically request you to moderate their projects.
  • You're looking for an opportunity that will allow you to contribute to business development without being solely responsible for hitting a number.
  • You love having responsibility for synthesizing findings, developing a story and presenting results.
