Leading Insight Consultancy

Central London (Hybrid)

£40-50,000 + strong benefits

Are you a dedicated social/public sector research specialist keen to have autonomy, lead your own client accounts, and focus on ad hoc studies? Do you love pushing boundaries and working with techniques such as behavioural and neuroscience? Do you thrive in an open, diverse, forward-thinking culture? If so, this could be the role for you!

This award-winning consultancy prides itself on its great culture as well as its ability to excel in delivering strategic, impactful insights to a range of high-profile clients. Their social research division is well established as a trusted adviser to high-profile names in the public/social/government/non-profit sector. The range and scope of projects will see you working on issues from communications and health to education, housing, and electoral policy. This role will see you sitting in a leadership position, developing relationships with key accounts, managing junior researchers on projects, and being heavily involved in the end-to-end activities of winning business, from proposal writing and the design and setup of projects through to the delivery of astute and engaging insights.

As an Associate Director, you will enjoy a fast-paced, varied, client-facing role working in partnership with your own key clients - getting to know their organisations and gaining a deep understanding of their challenges. Working in a consultative capacity, you will be delivering insights that truly add value. Although the role will have a quantitative focus, there will be the scope to involve yourself in qualitative methods as well as work with new tools and innovative techniques.

Public/Social research expertise is essential, alongside the technical experience of working in a research agency environment, managing research projects from start to finish, including plenty of proposal writing experience. You will have a creative spark, respect for others, and love partnering with colleagues, suppliers, and clients to help solve wide-ranging public service challenges and issues.

A very strong benefits package, competitive salary, and excellent progression opportunities await!
