We’re hiring for 2 new roles and looking for smart, proactive, and ambitious quantitative researchers to join a growing team at a highly regarded independent insights consultancy.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to take the next step in their career — someone who’s confident working directly with clients, passionate about delivering high-quality insights, and comfortable managing research from brief to debrief.

You’ll work across a diverse range of bespoke projects for global brands across sectors such as tech, retail, media, and lifestyle. Methodologies vary — from brand tracking and segmentations to pricing studies and advanced analytics — so curiosity and adaptability are key.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning and leading the day-to-day delivery of quant research projects
• Managing timelines, budgets, and clients with confidence
• Designing questionnaires and crafting compelling, visually strong reports
• Applying a strong understanding of quant methods (e.g. segmentation, conjoint, tracking)
• Collaborating with internal ops and support teams to ensure smooth delivery
• Developing client relationships and spotting opportunities for added value
• Mentoring junior researchers and contributing to a supportive team culture

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in quant research (agency side)
• Excellent project management skills, with an eye for detail
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to present findings clearly and persuasively
• A client-focused mindset with the ability to build trust and rapport
• Comfortable juggling multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
• Confident communicator — written and verbal
• A natural team player who’s also happy working independently

Whether you’re currently operating at Senior Research Exec level or already managing full projects and ready for a formal step up, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Join?

• Real career progression — your growth is supported and encouraged from day one
• A focus on quality — research that challenges, engages, and delivers real impact
• Global reach — work on international projects across 60+ markets
• Flat structure, real autonomy — your voice is heard and your input valued
• Team-first culture — socials, collaboration, and genuine support
• ️ Flexible working — balance your time between a central London office and home
