Our client is a boutique tech-enabled research consultancy that offers clients deep insight at the speed of software. You’ll get the opportunity to work alongside a highly collaborative team of researchers, client leads, engineers, data scientists and product specialists. They do impactful work with leading organisations, from brands to third sector and philanthropic organisations, so if you want to use research to help foundations and non-profits change the world, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved. Working on public opinion projects the work is primarily working with quantitative data, but will involve some qualitative research too.
If you’ve got around four years of social or political primary research and you’re ready to step up, sharpen your AI skills, help shape a growing team and drive where the sector is going, we’d love to hear from you.
You will have the opportunity to own research projects from start to finish and act as the key client contact for each of your projects as well as contribute to growing new business. To achieve this you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of projects, including client management, creation of surveys and fieldwork management, analysis and insight report creation and presentation, lead client comms and engagement and identify other opportunities for research to grow existing client accounts, run your own research, write thought leadership and host events with existing and potential new stakeholders, support senior team members with writing proposals, be involved in building out the research team by training junior team members and supporting the implementation of new processes and help develop new methods and improve research workflows to take advantage of advances in technology
This role will require someone who has already learned and successfully applied their quantitative research skills (survey-based primary research) in the social and political sector, in an agency or consultancy environment. You should have experience of communicating with clients and contributing to proposals but should now be looking for greater ownership and to be the key client lead on all your projects. Knowledge of how the analyse using R or Python and comfort with using AI in research workflows is required and a mixed-methods background that includes any form of qualitative interview experience is desirable.
The ideal candidate will have demonstrable critical thinking, a strong academic background, be self-driven and ambitious and want to learn new skills, enjoy working in a team and taking ownership and be curious about what’s happening in the world.
