Job description

Insight Analyst | £36,000 | London - 4 days per week onsite

Most research roles at this level ask you to stay in your lane. This one asks you to grow out of it.

About the Client

Our client is a small, high-performance insight and strategy agency in London. The kind of place where quant doesn't sit in a silo. The team is tight, smart, and moving fast. The work is genuinely interesting. Roughly 80% of what they do is strategic. The other 20% still feeds something bigger. It includes brand architecture, strategic positioning, concept development. And their clients include some of the world's most recognisable brands across food, finance, media, and energy.

They need an Insight Analyst who's ready to do real work from day one.

The Day-to-Day

You'll support the Head of Quant and senior team across a portfolio of about three projects at a time. All ad hoc, all different. No two projects are the same. There are no templates. That means:

• Running and checking data in Q/SPSS
• Managing supplier relationships and fieldwork quotas
• Supporting analysis, charting, and topline reporting
• Helping coordinate timelines, stakeholders, and client comms
• Contributing to brainstorms and attending client meetings

The Ideal Candidate

You've got around 2 years of quant consumer research experience, ideally from a rigorous agency background. You know your way around fieldwork, data checking, and DP specs. You're not waiting to be told what to do, but you're also honest about where you still have room to grow.

You're comfortable in a fast-paced environment where the expectation is high and the support is real. You want variety over repetition, and you'd rather work on something strategic than process the same tracker every quarter.

You're not the right fit if you're looking for a highly structured environment, or if your quant experience is mostly light-touch or education-sector.
