Description

This role sits within the market strategy specialist practice of a globally recognised research business focused on highly strategic, customised research.

The work covers segmentation, Usage & Attitudes (U&A) studies and broader strategic market understanding projects, with strong client exposure across financial services, technology and education.

Projects typically begin with loosely defined business problems rather than structured briefs, so the emphasis is firmly on strategic thinking, problem-solving and navigating ambiguity - every project is different.

The local team focuses on strategic thinking, client management, insight generation and storytelling, with task-oriented delivery supported offshore. Outputs here need to be concise and commercially sharp, and the role will provide excellent grounding in ad hoc and custom quantitative research across a wide variety of sectors and business challenges.

The role:

  • End-to-end management of customised quantitative research projects
  • Survey design and writing, analysis, interpretation and report drafting
  • Insight delivery to clients
  • Juggling multiple concurrent projects with differing timelines and complexity

The person:

  • Research agency background with solid quant ad-hoc project experience
  • Naturally proactive, intellectually curious and comfortable with ambiguity
  • Mature mindset with a consultative communication style and client confidence

Everyone in this agency has a client focus so consulting with clients and account management is encouraged early on.

The team is led by an experienced and well-respected research leader with a 20-year career spanning multiple markets. Mid-long term, there’s a clear path toward Senior Research Manager and Associate Director level ownership.

If you’re someone who thrives on variety, enjoys interrogating complex problems and wants to do work that directly shapes strategic decisions, this is well worth exploring.
