Job Spec: Leaders in research and applied behavioural science, our client is a strategic insights consultancy that solves real-world commercial and social problems.
Grounded in qualitative and quantitative research, they draw upon the latest thinking in behavioural economics, neuroscience, and strategy. They have a multimethod methodological toolkit that spans co-creation sessions, behavioural journeys, ethnography, survey design, RCTs, focus groups, and choice modelling.
What do they do?
They're all about getting to the root cause of behaviour and understanding the why - and delivering evidence-based insights that inform the design of products, services, experiences, social policies, communication campaigns, and behavioural interventions for commercial, social, and government clients.
It's diverse, meaningful, and immensely rewarding work across topics alike - motivating people to plant more trees, informing the design of sustainable food packaging, reducing bullying in the workplace, improving financial literacy, and designing policies around mental health.
