Job description

Qualitative Research Manager – Human Attitudes, Behaviour & Culture

Are you a qualitative insights strategist with a brimming fascination for human attitudes, behaviour and culture?

You’ve led projects, forged strong relationships with clients and built up your qual toolkit. Now you're looking for something more.

New mentors. New clients. New perspectives. The chance to solve human insights questions using the latest thinking in behavioural and cultural frameworks.

The Role

Let your creativity stretch further in an agency where you’re encouraged to be relentlessly bold, curious and fearless with new ideas – opening up entirely new directions for clients.

• Help build and grow trusted client relationships
• Design creative approaches to briefs across brand, experience, innovation and future-facing cultural trends
• Run workshops, IDIs, qual groups, ethnography, co-creation sessions and online communities – always looking for new ways to spark richer conversations and deeper human connection
• Bridge the gap between brands, business challenges, human truths and cultural narratives
• Present insights and strategy in creative, engaging formats
• Be a voice for qual with clients, and internally across broad consulting teams.

This agency has real energy and momentum. It's a growth, development opportunity for an insights strategist with qual as their superpower.

With lots of fun along the way! You can count on extra leave, curated events to spark thinking, structured L&D, AI-powered workflows that enhance (not replace) and an incredible mix of clients from big brands to challengers to not-for-profits.
