Southeast Asia is entering a decisive decade. Consumer behaviour is shifting rapidly, and technology is reshaping markets at a pace that traditional research methods struggle to match. In this environment, what constrains growth is rarely ambition or data. It is decision-making.

At Decision Lab, we help organisations turn opportunity into intentional, innovation-led progress. The Market Research Consultant Programme (MRC) is how we train the next generation of consultants to do exactly that.

What is the MRC?

The MRC is Decision Lab's most selective recruitment pathway for early-career talent. Each year, we identify a small group of high-potential graduates who are ready to contribute from day one, not just observe.

You will work on real client problems across multiple sectors. You will develop the capabilities that matter most in consulting: structured thinking, research design, data interpretation, commercial storytelling, and decision-focused communication.

This is not a simulation. Responsibility starts early.

Who are we looking for?

You may be a fresh graduate or have up to 02 years of experience in Business, Economics, Sociology, Data Science, Marketing, Digital Marketing, or a related field.

What matters most is mindset. We look for people who:

• Think logically and work with precision;
• Take ownership before being asked;
• Communicate clearly in both Vietnamese and English;
• Are comfortable being challenged on their thinking;
• Use tools, including AI to improve speed and accuracy;
• Pay attention to details and quality;
• Have international exposure from study or work abroad.

What you will gain

You will start with an intensive bootcamp covering quantitative and qualitative research methods, questionnaire design, data processing, reporting, and consultative skills. From there, you will rotate across client teams, supported by structured coaching and direct, frequent feedback.

By the end of the programme, strong performers structure problems independently, deliver clear analysis, write decision-focused outputs, and contribute to client recommendations with confidence.

The career path moves quickly for those who earn it, from Associate to Consultant, Senior Consultant, and beyond.

Why Decision Lab?

We work with more than 120 of Vietnam's most progressive brands and partner with global leading technology platforms. Our team is young, ambitious, and commercially sharp.

Joining us means working alongside smart, driven people on decisions that shape businesses across Southeast Asia.

What we offer

• Structured training, coaching, and mentorship from day one;
• Real client exposure and early responsibility;
• A young, international working environment in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City;
• Good salary and benefits package;
• Regular team events, an annual company trip, and a Friday bar tradition we take seriously.
