QuMind Hires for Senior Partnerships Role

London-based QuMind has appointed former UNiDAYS, Hearst UK and News International researcher Steve Jenkins as Client Partnerships Director.

QuMind's end-to-end research tools range from survey building and community management to automated reporting and AI-driven analysis, helping customer organisations to uncover, understand and act on real-time customer intelligence. Founded in 1999 as Tpoll, the firm became MindMover in 2015 and QuMind in 2021 - the latter was previously the name of its fast-growing self-serve MR platform.

Jenkins (pictured) brings more than two decades of experience in brand strategy, consumer behaviour, stakeholder engagement and commercial insight. He has worked in research leadership roles across the media, digital and tech sectors, most recently as Head of Research at student discounts service UNiDAYS, where he spent more than six years; and earlier in senior roles at The Stylist Group, Vevo, Hearst UK and News International.

A client and collaborator of QuMind for almost ten years, Jenkins will now focus on strengthening the firm's relationships with new and existing clients, helping them to get the best out of its platform. CEO Mark Ursell says of the appointment: 'We are incredibly excited to welcome Steve to QuMind. His deep understanding of the client side of research, paired with his strategic mindset and commercial acumen, make him an ideal fit for this role. He's been a vocal supporter of our evolution over the years, and we're delighted he's chosen to join us on the next stage of our growth journey.'
