Job description

Research & Insights Manager - Independent Agency - London

Looking for your next step in research at one of the most exciting youth-focused agencies around?

This fast-growing insights and creative agency is redefining how brands connect with kids, teens, and young adults, putting young voices at the centre of everything they do. From household names in entertainment, lifestyle, and tech to emerging disruptors, they help turn cultural understanding into meaningful strategy.

As Research & Insights Manager, you'll be joining a curious, collaborative, and creative team. You'll lead and support projects powered by rich first-party data from a global youth community, delivering insights that go beyond the obvious and help brands make better, braver decisions.

This agency is future-focused, values-driven, and constantly innovating. With a strong ethical stance on data privacy (think COPPA and GDPR-K), and a fast-paced, supportive culture, it's a brilliant place to grow.

If you're passionate about youth culture, great with data, and love turning insight into action, this could be the move you've been waiting for.

The role:

• Lead and support mixed-methods research projects, with a focus on quantitative approaches.

• Help design research methodologies tailored to children and youth audiences.

• Translate data into clear, compelling insight stories that drive strategic impact.

• Present findings to clients and contribute to new business proposals and pitches.

• Manage timelines, day-to-day project delivery, and coordinate with internal teams and junior researchers.

You:

• 3+ years of experience in market research (ideally agency-side), with some exposure to youth or family audiences.

• Strong project management and communication skills: able to manage multiple projects and keep things moving.

• Confident analysing data and delivering clear, strategic narratives (not just charts and numbers!).

• Comfortable presenting to clients and writing up findings in an engaging, actionable way.

• Detail-driven, collaborative, and curious, with a passion for insight and a love of learning.
