Job Spec: Are you ready to make your mark in a thriving, independent insights and analytics consultancy that's redefining the rules? This is your chance to join a team of passionate, forward-thinkers who thrive on innovation, challenge, and delivering results that blow clients minds.
Here, independence means freedom: the freedom to pivot, innovate, and create bespoke solutions that solve complex problems. This team excels at making the complicated simple, and clever, and they're constantly investing in the latest technologies and approaches to stay ahead of the curve.
Your Role: Explore, Analyse, Deliver
As Senior Consultant, you'll:
- Own projects from start to finish: Take responsibility for ad hoc quantitative research projects, from questionnaire design and fieldwork through to analysis, reporting, and presentation.
- Get close to clients: Build strong day-to-day relationships with an impressive mix of clients across Consumer Tech, FMCG, Media, and Financial Services.
- Turn data into a story: Go beyond the numbers to uncover the why, translating complex findings into clear, commercially relevant insights and recommendations.
- Work across fascinating challenges: Get variety across brand, customer experience, innovation, communications, segmentation, and more.
- Keep pushing the thinking: Bring curiosity, ideas, and fresh perspectives to projects, challenging the obvious answer and looking for smarter ways to solve client problems.
- Support the wider team: Collaborate with senior researchers, guide more junior team members, and contribute to proposals and pitches as your experience grows.
What You Bring to the Table
- 2-4 years' quantitative research experience, ideally gained within a market research or insights agency.
- Strong quantitative foundations: You're confident across questionnaire design, project management, data analysis (Q or SPSS), reporting, and delivering insight-led recommendations.
- A natural storyteller: You can take a mass of data and identify what really matters, building a clear and engaging narrative around the findings.
- Client confidence: You enjoy working directly with clients, understanding their business questions, and becoming someone they can rely on.
- A challenger mentality: You're curious, proactive, and keen to contribute ideas rather than simply follow a process.
- An appetite to grow: You're ready for greater ownership, more client exposure, and the opportunity to develop your consulting and strategic skillset.
What You'll Love
- A bright, modern workspace with cutting-edge tools and facilities.
- A progressive flexibility policy and hybrid work model to suit your lifestyle.
- Generous perks, including extra annual leave, best-in-class training, and supportive mentoring.
- Genuine opportunities to develop your consulting, storytelling, and client skills alongside highly experienced researchers.
- A fun, collaborative culture where your ideas and contributions are truly valued.
