Job Spec: This independent Research, Insights, and Strategy Consultancy is driven by a genuine desire to improve the world.

They offer a unique proposition - a boutique agency culture within a global communications agency, a 50:50 qualitative/quantitative methodology split, and partnerships with commercial and social clients, from charities to NGOs, social enterprises, and government departments.

Their work informs policies, inspires communications, and sheds light on social issues.

About the role: Senior Research Consultant

As a Senior Research Consultant (with a quantitative leaning), you'll be involved in running projects from pitch to final presentation, be a confident client manager, and enjoy building trusted relationships and adding a strategic perspective.

Managing projects end-to-end, your key responsibilities will encompass:

• Proposal writing and integrating briefs to understand clients problems deeply
• Designing research methodologies
• Project & client account management
• Facilitating qualitative and quantitative fieldwork
• Translating data into insights and insights into actionable recommendations
• Delivering reports and engaging client presentations
• Mentoring and inspiring junior members of the team

Projects are predominantly customised ad-hoc projects (with some tracking) - and you'll love the constant stream of diverse projects spanning behaviour change, communications evaluation, strategy, segmentation, customer experience, branding, and choice modelling.

In one month, you could be designing behavioural nudging frameworks to encourage rural community members to be better prepared for bushfires, facilitating qual-ethnography to understand the behaviours behind risky driving for a government department, designing and testing a communications campaign to improve financial literacy, and running a strategic brand tracker for a Big-4 Bank!

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of agency-side experience in social or commercial research
• Proven experience managing research projects end-to-end.
• A dualist with qual and quant methodologies
• Ability to build trusted client relationships and influence key stakeholders.
• Technical quant capabilities in SPSS, Q, and Excel
• A detail-oriented & flexible approach to problem-solving

Working alongside a like-minded, passionate, and diverse team, you'll have the opportunity to grow and develop your qualitative and quantitative research skills and stretch your thinking in cultural insights, advanced analytics, and behavioural economics - while solving real-world problems.

You'll be part of a workplace where you'll feel like you belong, supported by an amazing, smart, nurturing, and supportive senior leadership team with brilliant benefits:

• Flexible & hybrid working
• Awesome offices with sleek amenities
• Birthday leave + volunteering leave
• Early finish on Fridays
• Stacks of internal and external L&D
• EAP - access to financial advisors and wellness practitioners
• Access to Mini-MBA's
• Clear paths to promotions
• 1:1 mentoring
• Progressive paid parental leave schemes
• Research Society Membership
• Opportunity to add local & international conferences.
• Fully stocked kitchens with a visiting barista (and a solid stock of chocolate!)
• Fun socials
