Description:

Lexicon Branding develops category- defining names for the world’s biggest and
most innovative brands. Swiffer, Sonos, Pentium, Dasani, and Impossible Foods
are just a few of the hundreds of successful product and company names we have
created over the past 37 years.

We pride ourselves on an environment of creativity, problem solving, and
thought leadership. Three qualities that we insist upon: curiosity, never
settling for anything other than excellence, and a good dose of ambition.

The Role:
Lexicon is the only brand naming agency that has a full- time in- house
linguistics staff along with a global network of linguists. We have spent
millions of dollars on research and development of our internal creative
tools, our tested methods of global linguistic and cultural analysis, and our
pioneering work on sound symbolism. 

As a Linguistic Associate, you will become a contributor to everything
linguistics at Lexicon. 

Specifically, you will:
- Develop and participate in original linguistic research.
- Thoughtfully contribute to creative development on naming, brand
architecture, nomenclature, and positioning projects.
- Synthesize brand naming insights from a broad array of linguistic
perspectives.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of Lexicon’s creative and analytical
tools.
- Assist with the management and analysis of our global language and culture
reviews of brand names.
- Familiarize yourself with the other departments across Lexicon—Account
Management, Research, Trademark—and come to understand the full scope of brand
name development.

We have found that our Linguists do best when they have:
- Ambition, a drive to succeed, and a willingness to contribute.
- Multi- faceted linguistic curiosity and deep experience in Natural Language
Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Data Science,
Phonology, and/or the Linguistics of Marketing & Branding.
- Fluency in Python, R, or similar scripting language.
- Experience designing, conducting, and evaluating language data experiments,
including understanding of statistical methods.
- Varied and creative interests.
- An eye for detail and proven ability to seamlessly manage shifting
priorities.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Fluency in one or more languages other than English.

Key Qualifications:
- MA/MS or Ph.D. in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, or another
linguistics-related discipline.
- Professional work experience strongly preferred but not required.

This is a full- time position and employees will be expected to work from our
San Francisco Bay Area office.

resume to the application email below.
