Very competitive salary + bonus

Hybrid working – 2 days/week in the Thames Valley office

Are you a quant researcher who loves turning complex data into sharp, story-driven insights? Looking to work on high-impact B2B projects with some of the biggest names in tech?

We're seeking an experienced Research Manager or Senior Research Manager to lead bespoke quantitative projects (with some qualitative aspects), from proposal through to presentation.

You’ll work closely with well-known tech brands on thought leadership, brand and ad testing studies. No trackers here, all ad hoc work!

Responsibilities include:

• Work consultatively with clients to uncover meaningful insights
• Present findings with clarity and confidence
• Collaborate with in-house operations (no scripting or data processing on your plate)

Requirements include:

• Solid experience in a market research agency (B2B experience is a plus). Agency and client-side experience also acceptable. You may be only client-side if working in a relevant sector.
• Comfortable leading client calls and crafting compelling narratives
• Proficient with tools like Excel and PowerPoint; interest in AI tools is a bonus
• Consultative mindset and storytelling skills
• Part of a tight-knit 13-person research team within a company of over 30 employees
• Hybrid working: 2 days/week in the office
• Positive, supportive culture
• Room for growth, with more junior hires joining the team
