Are you looking to develop your career with an agency that takes a different approach to working with its clients?
We are looking for ambitious people at the start of their insight career to join us and be a part of our exciting plans for growth. 
What type of person are we looking for?
The work we do requires the ability to be creative about methodologies based on an understanding of the purpose and potential applications of research.

We are looking for a true self-starter, someone who wants to take responsibility, contribute from day one and really hit the ground running.
We want someone with a real eye for detail and passion for research helping brands succeed and grow. Ideal candidates will have had some significant experience of qualitative and/or quantitative research as part of their degree studies.

Key responsibilities:
  • Providing support to the team on all aspects of the projects;
  • Liaising with fieldwork and DP suppliers, both internally and externally;
  • Checking and analysing data;
  • Helping to generate insight and analysis and preparing presentations;
  • Working with people at all levels within the client organisation and internally;
  • Demonstrating strong project management skills;
  • Participating in workshops internally and with clients.
