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 quant projects (including some qualitative work), from proposal through to presentation.

• Present findings with clarity and confidence
• Collaborate with in-house operations (no scripting or data processing required)

Candidate requirements:

• Solid experience in a market research agency (B2B experience is a plus). Agency and client-side experience are both acceptable; client-side candidates should have relevant sector experience.
• 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 30+
• Hybrid working 2 days per week in the office
• Positive, supportive culture with room to grow, including additional junior hires in the team
