Experimentation Consultant - United States

Location: Fully remote (United States)
Contract: FTC - Fixed Term Contract (6 months)
Salary: $60,000 - $80,000 (pro rata)

The problem we solve

Most corporate innovation fails because teams spend months (and millions) building things nobody wants. They guess. They assume. They plan in detail, and then reality arrives - the customer.

At Future Foundry, we help large organisations test first, build later. We replace costly assumptions with lightweight, real-world experiments that reveal what customers actually want before our clients commit serious time and money.

We've spent the last five years developing a structured, repeatable approach to business experimentation. In that time, we've run +500 experiments and saved +£1 billion in misallocated investment for some of the largest global innovation teams. Working with the likes of Mars, Experian, HSBC, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Hilton to de-risk new propositions, get to market faster, and make evidence-backed investment decisions.

And now? We're growing the team.

What you'll actually do

This isn't your typical consulting gig. You won't be making decks for the sake of it or sitting in a client's office for weeks on end. You'll be testing ideas in the real world and turning messy uncertainty into clear, actionable evidence.

Here's how you'll spend your time:

70% - Client delivery

• Design experiments that test customer demand, product feasibility, and market traction. You’ll use +60 experiments to find the best way to validate risky assumptions. 
• Run experiments from recruiting participants, conducting customer interviews, designing product visuals, setting up ads, and tracking behavioural data.
• Facilitate workshops with client teams and external customers to help stakeholders surface assumptions, prioritise uncertainties, and structure meaningful tests. 

20% - Analysis and strategic recommendations

• Turn raw data (qualitative and quantitative) into compelling evidence.
• Help client teams understand what the evidence means and what to do next.
• Form clear, strategic recommendations on where to accelerate, adapt, or withdraw.

10% - Internal projects

• Support ad-hoc business development and proposal work (when we're pitching extensions to your existing clients).
• Contribute to refining our experimentation methodology - frameworks, templates, and playbooks.

In practice: You'll typically work on 1-2 client projects at a time (rarely more, only when we're especially busy). Projects range from a couple of weeks to a few months, though some larger programmes can run for up to 6 months. You'll work in small, lean teams of 2-3 people, with a senior delivery or client lead supporting you.

We're hiring someone who gets energy from working with people (clients, partners, customers), loves learning by doing, and is curious about uncertainty.

The essentials

• Expect 3-7 years of hands-on experience in roles involving experimentation, concept validation, user research, venture design, or corporate innovation.
• Proven ability to design and run real-world tests, whether that's customer interviews, prototype testing, demand experiments, or market validation work.
• Strong facilitation skills, where you can run workshops with senior stakeholders and external customers with confidence and clarity.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You don't need a perfect plan to get started; you're hypothesis-driven and learn as you go.
• Excellent communication skills, where you can distil complex findings into clear, compelling recommendations (both written and verbal).
• A collaborative, curious mindset, as you're energised by working closely with clients and teammates, not operating solo in a silo.

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Experience working in or with startups (you understand the "build-measure-learn" mentality).
• Background in corporate innovation teams or new product, service, or proposition development.
• Familiarity with the core industries we work in: retail, FMCG, healthcare, and financial services.
• Knowledge of design thinking, lean startup, jobs-to-be-done, or similar methodologies.

What likely won't work

• You haven’t done hands-on experimentation work, as we're not looking for "desk research" consultants.
• A preference for long, detailed planning over fast, scrappy testing.
• Needing absolute certainty before making decisions.
• Wanting to stay in your lane. We need people who can flex across research, facilitation, analysis, and client management.

$60,000 - $80,000 (pro-rata - depending on experience)

• Fully remote (work from anywhere in the United States)
• 28 days vacation (pro-rata)
• Occasional travel to client sites (UK/Europe/US, all expenses covered)
• Flexible working hours (as long as you're available for client meetings and team collaboration)
• Pension scheme (employer contributions)
