Company: Nielsen

Membership Representative - Washington DC - 26928

Field Operations and Panel Recruitment - USA Washington, Washington D.C.

Did you know that 103 million people in the United States watched the biggest football game of the year? Or that 93% of U.S. adults 18 and older listen to radio every week? Here at Nielsen, we produce that data. For over 70 years, our Radio and Television Ratings have helped shape the media and advertising industries.

So what makes our Ratings so effective? We connect technology and people. To do that, we have hundreds of Nielsen Representatives across the country meeting people and recruiting them for our Ratings panels.

What’s it like to work at Nielsen?

We want everyone to have a voice and be themselves. Our associates represent the diverse consumers and markets that we measure. We value diversity of thought, experiences, skills and cultural backgrounds.

We believe in making things open, connected, useful and personal. We challenge everyone to innovate, learn new things, take risks and grow—and we believe in having fun while we work.

What does it take to be a Nielsen Representative?

We’re looking for passionate, persuasive and outgoing people to join our teams across the country.

What does an Nielsen Representative do?

Our representatives are the face of Nielsen and truly enjoy interacting with strangers. 90% of our associates feel the highlight of their role is the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people while in the field.

Our representatives travel to selected homes, known as Nielsen Families, unannounced and without an appointment. They utilize persuasion skills and techniques to gain cooperation and participation in the Nielsen Ratings. The real world is our office, allowing our Nielsen Representatives to be out and about during afternoon and evening hours (3 - 8 pm)and one weekend day, as these are opportune times to connect with prospective panelists when they’re most likely to be home.

Anything else a Nielsen Representative brings to the table?

We do have a few general requirements. All representatives need a High School Diploma or GED with 2-5 years equivalent work experience (we love college degrees too). They also need to show proficiency using a tablet & smartphone, e-mails, spreadsheets and other applications, have a valid driver’s license, car insurance and a satisfactory driving record.

Previous relevant work or volunteer experience in customer service, market research, census bureau research, in-field research, social service, door-to-door sales, campaign canvassing, etc. is a plus.

In addition to a cool career, what are the benefits?

We offer benefits you’d expect from an industry-leading company—but at Nielsen, we also focus on the “Whole You.” From health & wellness programs to time off to stock ownership, we want our associates to have a healthy, rewarding, balanced and meaningful experience—both at work and in life. Our comprehensive benefits package is effective from the first day of employment.

I’ve heard Nielsen is a great place to work … is that true?

We're not in it for awards, but we’re happy to be recognized.
