You work in Embedded Research. What does that mean in concrete terms?

On the one hand, we support client acquisitions and projects in the same way as classic consultants do; on the other hand, we are the zeb unit responsible for creating and further developing various market models and studies.

What do you like most about your role in Embedded Research?

For me, the Embedded Research department combines the best of two worlds: client proximity and scientific work. I can assist in various client projects as part of a team while continuing my university-style way of working, since a large part of my everyday work revolves around developing models and studies.

What does a typical week look like for you?

Unlike in consulting, I hardly have to travel at all, which I really appreciate, since I have just moved to Münster and first want to settle down here. My tasks are highly varied, I work on larger projects such as designing a new pricing strategy for a bank, but also frequently on smaller market analyses or the further development of our market models.
