Our team makes a very significant contribution to our agency's income through work delivered to our clients, and we support nearly every new business pitch.

Agency Leadership:

• You will be responsible for delivering insight projects end to end and be an expert in quantitative and / or qualitative research, analysis and interpretation.
• You will be a line manager and/or mentor to more junior members of the team and will help deliver the company's ambition for the development of the team.

• You will support your colleagues and treat everyone you work with respect.
• You will help make coming to work enjoyable for every member of our organisation.
