Job Spec: Our client is an in-house consultancy with a phenomenal reputation for their strategic work and partnerships spanning trends, futuristic innovations, thought leadership and sustainability. Their topic areas are high profile; climate change, healthcare challenges, the future of AI, sustainable materials of the future, how tech can aid innovation with rapidly changing global trends...

The consulting team have a 'dream' client portfolio including influential charitable foundations, global retail brands, tech giants and leaders within financial services. Clients want to be associated with them and go to them for partnership programs, thought leadership, events and consulting.

Their UK success is driving their expansion into the US and this provides a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Consultant with a good understanding of B2B qual research/insight/consulting to play a key role in this growing team. Based in London, your focus will be the US where their global HQ is based. There will be some travel to New York - up to 4 times a year.

This role is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated individual, with a keen interest in technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, to help create and deliver a range of client led solutions within an expanding team. This isn't about business development as they have an established sales team in the US along with an enviable reputation which means that blue chip companies want to partner with them - so this is about building relationships with internal sales teams, engaging with their clients, breaking down complex client and often thorny issues, devising an approach to a solution and then staying at the helm of projects whilst overseeing a hugely talented project management/research team.

We are looking for a confident, capable, intellectually curious, commercial and client facing consultant. Working with very senior stakeholders, and someone who thrives on building great relationships, you will need to be polished, articulate, concise, enjoy problem solving, and creating solutions that meet client needs (often thought leadership, round tables, expert interviewing and events.) This is likely to suit someone who has a genuine interest in what is going on around them; geo-politically and big trends that are impacting our world. Somebody who is ambitious, wants greater exposure and responsibility and who is comfortable with forward thinking concepts.

Qual B2B experience is required within research/consulting; someone who has owned client relationships and who has a track record of nurturing and growing long standing relationships.

Culturally, this is a fabulous environment to work in; the highest quality of work, lots of scope to take responsibility, supportive, collaborative, great learning opportunities. Their retention levels are sky high which is testament to the team enjoying the interesting nature of the projects whilst working in a very respectful culture where work/life balance is prized.

4 days a week in the office is required; their offices are Central London and hard to beat!
