Research Manager position at the client, a high-growth research and technology business focused on transforming how organizations understand consumers, citizens, and audiences. The role supports diverse clients by owning end-to-end quantitative research projects and delivering high-quality insights using modern research technology and robust quantitative methods. You will work across a range of sectors and help ensure projects are delivered with strong analytical rigor.
Key responsibilities include independently managing and delivering quantitative research projects across areas such as political, consumer, and multi-market studies, from scoping through to presenting results. You will lead client communication as the main point of contact, manage client accounts, and understand broader strategic needs. The role also involves creating data tables and outputs using internal tools, partnering with consulting and analytics teams on larger insight programmes (sometimes leading them end-to-end), and supporting a range of research activities including survey design, sampling management, data integrity, and programme delivery such as brand tracking, brand lift, ad testing, segmentation, and multi-country research.
To succeed, you will typically bring strong experience delivering quantitative market research from brief to debrief, including designing surveys, managing fieldwork, and producing data tables and cross-breaks. You should be comfortable cleaning raw data and ensuring outputs meet high quality standards, with strong Excel capability and familiarity with research platforms such as DisplayR considered beneficial. The client expects commercial awareness to support quoting and proposals, confidence in client conversations to challenge assumptions and provide clear recommendations, and the ability to mentor and develop junior researchers in a detail-oriented, proactive, and committed manner.
