Shopper Insights Agency

This agency has the only benchmarking system in Australia that can give the big retailers a deep, systematic understanding of why their shoppers behave the way they do for any category, segment, brand.

It is a hugely powerful research tool that informs the category vision, strategy, and tactical plans of the top 40+ big names in grocery and liquor with billion-dollar turnovers.

You'd be joining a small team of c10 Analysts and Strategic Consultants who punch well above their weight, working with Buyers, Sales, Marketing and Category stakeholders to inform category strategy through a systematic analysis of shopper mindset, sentiment, and behaviour.

A Variety of ad hoc briefs using rich, nuanced data set:

• How can we premiumise our category? What are the opportunities?
• How can we validate those opportunities by understanding our shoppers?
• We can see growth in category X - what are the opportunities for shoppers to trade up?
• Pricing promotions - to what extent should we be promoting quality v price?
• What should my layout be? Am I blocking correctly?
• How do shoppers behave on certain missions?

Day to day tasks:

• Drive big strategic accounts. Own the relationships to ensure long term retention and growth.
• Dive in to the (survey) data to tackle a mixture of customised briefs and regular reports
• Synthesise data, pull out critical insights and add top-level thinking to all deliverables
• Deliver regular presentations and workshops
• Develop your reputation as a specialist in the FMCG/Category Insights, advocating the Shopper.
• Support senior management with thought leadership, marketing and representing the agency in industry
• Upskill and support the client service team
• Bring energy, ideas, and support to your teammates

Desired experience:

• Significant experience in FMCG/ Retail/ Shopper Insights & Category Strategy
• Ideally experience in another agency environment
• Experience of survey data ideal (market research profile)
• Experience of using POS, loyalty, panel data highly regarded
• Passionate about FMCG trends and innovation

People that work here love the very personal feel to the business and relationships with clients. It's a high-quality environment. Brilliant from a networking point of view, to get to know all the important people in Grocery and Liquor. You can really own this role and develop it from here.

Total flexibility + Gym membership + Competitive remuneration on offer.

Initial commitment is for a 9-12 month contract (negotiable) but with a view to a permanent extension, if desired.
