OUR TEAM

Founded in 2001,
Chicago, IL based.

Like our namesake (hearty conifer trees) we believe that data and insights should be ever green, adding value for years to come.

We are unapologetic people nerds, always pursuing the why of
behaviors, beliefs and decisions.

We spark curiosity and uncover context through immersion
in the people’s real lives.

We inspire clients to embrace opportunities and what can be
new and different in the world.

We build organizational empathy by helping clients
bring their customers to work with them everyday.

We help clients better align business decisions by
advocating for the voices and needs of real people.

We are motivated by fostering meaningful changes
for people and our world.

GLOBAL PARTNERS

Conifer fields in-person, remote and quantitative research globally.

CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES

We seek team members who approach problems curiously, frame questions thoughtfully, listen openly, observe carefully, and who can iterate on the fly.

We specialize in extracting the “so what” from mounds of interesting data. We are open to a range of educational and professional experience from those just completing undergraduate studies in anthropology, sociology, psychology, design and related fields to those who have advanced degrees or years of consulting experience.
