As our Senior Research Analyst, you’ll: As our Senior Research Analyst you’ll lead in the management of projects during all stages of the research process (client kick off, survey design to reporting), working across a range of research approaches. Our Senior Analysts are the face of our research, and working directly with research partners and clients is integral to the role. You’ll be doing that for the agency world. Our clients are global agency networks and independent agencies, and no two projects look the same: at one end, large and complex multi-market trackers; at the other, fast-turnaround one-off studies.

Our clients make big decisions on the back of our data, so accuracy is non-negotiable - You get stuck in, take ownership, and give clients an excellent experience from kick off to delivery Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.
