Job Spec: Are you an inspiring leader of qualitative insights strategy with a brimming fascination for human attitudes, behaviour and culture?

You've led teams, set high standards and helped others raise their game. Now you're looking for something more.

A seat at the table. The opportunity to help shape an agency. To work alongside senior leaders who value your opinion, not just your output.


The Role

You'll lead the continued growth of an established qualitative insights team, including:

• Forging strong relationships with clients
• Leading qualitative thinking and deliverables
• Building out a happy and high performing team
• Contributing to strategic planning and new business growth
• Budget timeline and asset management
• Bringing commercial thinking to every client engagement
• Remaining hands-on with qualitative research and consulting.

This agency has real energy and momentum. It's a growth opportunity for an insights strategist with qual as their superpower.

You know how to get beneath what people say to uncover what really drives behaviour. You thrive in the messy, ambiguous stuff. Brand strategy, customer segmentation and understanding, behaviour insight is your sweet spot. The bigger the question, the better.


About You:

We're looking for a seasoned qualitative strategist with:

• Deep expertise in qualitative methodologies and client consulting
• Experience in a leadership role in another strategic insights agency.
• Broad experience across methodologies, sectors and business challenges
• A passion for developing people and building capability.

Commercial acumen, curiosity and the ambition to help shape the future of the agency
