Job Spec: You're already operating at a senior level - leading standout client work and delivering real impact - but you're starting to ask: What's next? Where's the inspiration, the next challenge, the stretch?

It's right here.

We'll give you the space to grow, with a high-profile portfolio of FMCG, services, and retail clients, line management of 1-2 Consultants, mentorship from a wicked-smart female Partner, and uncapped progression.


Breadth of methodology. Depth of strategic thinking.

This agency will help you sharpen your edge as a strategist as you dive into projects like:

• Future-focused innovation and pack/price optimisation for a major drinks FMCG
• Pack refreshes, flavour studies, and brand asset tracking for a major food FMCG
• Foundational strategic research to help retailers like Coles unlock new opportunities
• Cultural foresight work exploring the future of pet ownership and innovation white space
• Brand tracking and segmentation to sharpen comms for a leading telco.

In this role, you'll:

• Lead client relationships with clarity and confidence
• Deliver gold-standard quantitative thinking
• Run a mix of ad hoc and tracking projects from proposal to presentation
• Push the boundaries of what strategic insights can do
• Mentor and support 1-2 brilliant Consultants
• Contribute to company culture and broader strategic direction.

Does this sound like you?

• You thrive in a high-performing, high-trust culture where growth is real, not lip service
• You love collaborating in a multidisciplinary team - qual, quant, culture, behavioural, brand, and marketing science
• You're looking for purpose as well as progression - this B-Corp certified agency walks the talk
• You want the scale and stability of a larger agency, with the agility and spirit of an independent
• You're keen to grow - not just up, but deep - whether that's building your pipeline, becoming a brilliant people leader, dealing with tricky conversations, or honing your storytelling craft
• Oh, and the benefits? Market-leading salary + bonus, 26 weeks paid parental leave, 25 days holiday, flexible-first working.

What we're looking for:

• Deep experience in consumer insights, especially quant
• Strong agency-side background. Customised, ad hoc work essential.
• Inspiring storyteller, sharp thinker, commercial brain
• Team builder with energy, ideas, and follow-through
• Someone who wants a career, not just a job.

If you're ready to bring your smarts to a business that's all-in on its people, its purpose, and your progression - this could be your moment.
