AMRC is expanding its network of freelance qualitative moderators fluent in Arabic and English to support its research projects across the Middle East and the GCC.

We are looking for professionals able to lead in-depth discussions, explore respondents’ attitudes, motivations and behaviours, and deliver relevant qualitative findings in diverse cultural contexts.

  • Conduct in-depth interviews (IDIs), focus groups (FGDs) and key informant interviews (KIIs).
  • Moderate qualitative sessions with consumers, professionals, experts and decision-makers.
  • Work on brand, customer experience, consumer behaviour and product and service studies, as well as social research.
  • Adapt discussion guides to respondents’ cultural and linguistic context.
  • Take part in scoping meetings, briefings and debriefings.

Who we are looking for

  • Previous experience in qualitative moderation, ideally in a research agency or consulting firm.
  • Excellent spoken and written Arabic and English.
  • Command of local Arabic dialects (Khaleeji, Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi, etc.) is a strong advantage.
  • Ability to interview different profiles, including senior respondents.
  • Good understanding of the cultural and social specificities of Arab markets.
  • Excellent communication, listening and synthesis skills.
  • Strict compliance with research and confidentiality protocols.

Experience in consumer, B2B, health, finance, public sector or international development research is particularly valued.
