Job description

Join a boutique insights and consulting firm who punch well above their weight - blending rigour with creativity across projects that shape how Australians live, work, travel, and shop.

The Work

You name it they do it - B2B and B2C across Government, Services, and Retail.

From segmentation, brand positioning, U&A, CX, and brand tracking through to product development, concept and ad testing, and mystery shopping, there’s huge variety here.

They’re especially well known for their off-the-shelf CX model, used extensively to help clients truly understand and improve their customer and community experiences.

The Role

This role is for a Quant leaning dualist where you’ll be the bridge between insight and action - partnering with clients, designing smart research and delivering impactful, actionable insights strategy.

About You

You’ll have either a quant background (happy to do some qual) or a quant leaning dualist with strong agency experience. You love being in the room with clients - asking the right questions, challenging thinking, and connecting the dots between data and strategy.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Enjoy managing projects end-to-end from proposal to presentation
• Have experience of designing research, project set up, data analysis (Q skills or similar stats package), synthesis and story telling
• Are great with clients and love building trusted relationships
• Are an engaging storyteller
• Bring curiosity, warmth, and a collaborative spirit

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Connect & Create: an internal initiative ensuring all voices are heard and ideas flow freely.
• Hybrid working: flexibility to blend home and in-office time.
• Lovely office
• Warm, non-hierarchical culture: professional but never pretentious.
• Initial contract but potential for extension
