• Leading behavioural science-driven research projects to understand consumer decision-making in the FMCG sector.
• Designing quantitative studies to explore brand perception, product innovation, and shopper behaviour.
• Managing project timelines, budgets, and client communications.
• Working with statistical techniques and advanced analytics to extract meaningful insights.
