Job Spec: In a market where success feels harder than ever, this agency is thriving - helping high-profile clients tackle challenges head-on with empowering insights, amplified impact, and bold decision-making.

There's a real buzz as they continue to grow across all their capability areas - quant, qual, marketing science, tech/AI, planning and strategy offering clients a one-stop strategy hub - and a play pit of learning and growth for you!

This growth role is for a Research Consultant - quant leaning with a qualitative twist!


Work with Culture-Shaping Brands

You'll love working across a mix of culture-shaping brands - from global icons to cool start-ups - where every solution is 100% bespoke. It's a gem of an opportunity to build both your methodological skills and your strategic thinking. Typical briefs include:

• Identifying meaningful segments, defining priority audiences, and projecting future behaviours
• Helping brands define their purpose, position, and cultural relevance
• Building comms strategies grounded in real human understanding
• Using behavioural change frameworks to uncover social and psychological forces
• Spotting unmet needs, shaping ideas, and guiding innovation.

We're talking iconic brands that are part of your everyday - major names across Retail, Sports, Fintech, Entertainment, Financial Services, and Tech.


This Agency's Vibe

Forward-thinking leadership: Innovative, agile and focused on the future of insights strategy. This agency knows how to stay relevant.

Effort rewarded: They invest profit back into their people with uncapped promotions, competitive salaries and bonuses (the pay-it not just say-it kind), plus benefits that add up - like 25 days leave.

Rocket science thinking: This is where you go to challenge your thinking, get uncomfortable with what you don't know, and learn from the best.

Flex with feel: Hybrid model (3:2) - but the office has a great vibe that naturally pulls the team in.

Agility with scale: Plenty of people and teams to learn from, with all-agency events that bring everyone together across locations for learning, connection and celebration.


Day-to-day responsibilities:

• Be client-facing - you'll jump onto a portfolio of amazing accounts
• Help unpack client problems and design tailored quant research frameworks
• Own end-to-end quant projects - design frameworks, surveys, and analyse data
• Synthesise insights and contextualise them within broader strategy
• Create inspiring, commercially relevant narratives and strategies
• Get hands-on with qual too - from depth interviews to multi-method projects
• Bring creativity, curiosity and passion to every brief.

What do you need to apply?

• Around 2+ years' experience in consumer insights or strategy
• Background in a market research consultancy or agency environment
• Strong quantitative research skills - across ad hoc and tracking (e.g. brand equity, U&A, segmentations, CX, NPD)
• Passion for strategy and turning data into business impact
• Excellent analytical ability and ideally confident using Q or a similar stats package.

This is your chance to join a future-facing insights agency where no idea is too ambitious, and no question is too complex. You'll learn fast, think big, and build a stellar consulting toolkit surrounded by people who love what they do.
