Research Director
We’re looking for a Research Director to join our growing, ambitious and fun London based quant team!
You’ll be working in a vibrant and friendly environment, delivering bespoke research projects for a range of clients. We work with many leading brands including Netflix, Beats, Samsung, Tesco, DAZN, ALDO and John Lewis to name a few, and you’ll have the opportunity to work across sectors and methodologies (from brand tracking to segmentation, conjoint to integrated studies).
We’re looking for someone who can make an immediate impact, hit the ground running and be hands on getting stuck into projects. You’ll have shown good career progression to date and be hungry to keep going. Key elements of the role include:
Owning key account relationships, spending time understanding the priorities and needs for our clients
Being a quality gatekeeper, ensuring we’re proud of the work we deliver
Getting involved in the day to day, from helping shape questionnaires, writing analysis and delivering debriefs
Write winning proposals, and designing bespoke solutions to answer our client’s business questions
Pro-actively growing existing accounts
Developing and pushing more junior members of the team, helping drive progression
In return we’ll provide mentoring, a clear career development path for further progression, and space to own major client relationships! It’s a fun culture, and somewhere you can really make your mark and grow beyond the Director role.
