Job Spec: Are you a junior market researcher looking for a role in a consultancy environment big enough to have a genuinely international outlook, but small enough to foster the trust, creativity and collaboration so important for a fulfilling career?


This role offers exactly that. It is with a well-established full service insights consultancy with offices around the world that enjoys long-term partnerships with clients across many varied sectors including FMCG, retail, food, beverages, media and more. With the success of their recent period of stimulating change and growth, they seek a talented RE level researcher keen to inject the consultancy mindset into their thinking. Initially offered as a 12-month contract with the possibility of going permanent at the end.


Responsibilities include:

• Drafting research materials, including recruitment screeners, discussion guides and questionnaires, for Director review and amending materials upon receipt of feedback
• Manage external suppliers and oversee the fieldwork process to ensure all agreed quotas are met
• Support Directors in managing suppliers project costs and work within project budgets as far as possible
• Take on a key role on report development, charting slides in PowerPoint, ensuring they clearly communicate findings in a visually compelling manner
• Work with the design team for additional design outputs, such as videos, infographics and personas.

This is an ideal second role for someone who has already laid the foundations of their career in market research in an agency environment. Ideally you will have a good grounding in both quant and qual combined with the delivery of sophisticated strategic insight, compellingly presented in the form of stories, videos, infographics and workshops. Areas of development are well defined and supported including proposal delivery, marketing and design.

This role is largely remote but with regular meetings in London, therefore we can only consider candidates in the SE of England.
