At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Senior Research Manager to play a key role in our research team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As our Senior Research Manager you’ll be working on brand and reputation projects with leading companies from a range of industries. This person should have a passion for understanding brands and brand strategy, with a deep understanding of how effective research can elevate client decision making. They should be able to work collaboratively with clients, in all stages of the research process, from taking a brief and developing a proposal through to presenting the results.

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me?

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

Experience in quantitative market research, with a strong focus on brand tracking and strategic brand surveys. Knowledge and understanding of segmentation creation research would be an advantage.

Highly skilled in client management and consultative partnership, ensuring that brand tracking outputs are tightly aligned to client business objectives and marketing strategies.

Proven expertise in project management of multi-country brand studies, including survey design, fieldwork oversight, quotas and weighting, advanced analysis, reporting, and stakeholder debriefing.

Demonstrated ability to design and optimize brand health frameworks, brand funnels, KPIs (awareness, consideration, usage, loyalty), and strategy surveys measuring brand equity and positioning.

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

Interview steps

Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required)

First video interview with the hiring managers

Second (and final*) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.

• Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.
