Hypothesis is part of the Elixirr Group, a leading insights, strategy, and innovation consultancy.

At Hypothesis, we blend insights, design, and strategy to help important brands do amazing things. We work with the world’s most dynamic, admired, and disruptive companies to answer their high-stakes questions that shape the future.

About the Role

Along the way, you’ll manage and develop 1–2 team members, helping them strengthen their skills, grow their confidence, and produce the outstanding work we are known for. Your impact will extend beyond individual projects: you’ll deepen client relationships, elevate the quality of our work, strengthen our team, and contribute to the continued growth of Hypothesis.
