Dualist Research Manager - Human Insight Delivered Melbourne, Aus $AUD *******,000 package - (posted Feb *******)
Job Spec: If you're a senior researcher who thrives on variety, strategic thinking, and meaningful work across both social and commercial sectors, this is a rare opportunity to step into a genuinely dualist role inside one of Australia's most respected insights consultancies.
They are smart, nurturing, and deeply invested in both their people and their clients. Led by an exceptional senior team, they've built a culture where curiosity is encouraged, ideas are debated, and growth is intentional.
Why this role stands out
You'll work across a rare blend of qualitative and quantitative projects, spanning social impact and big-thinking commercial strategy. No pigeon-holing. Think customised, ad hoc, intellectually stretching work.
The work is diverse, fascinating and genuinely impactful. One day, you might be exploring behaviour change for a Federal Department. The next, leading brand equity or choice modelling for a major bank, retailer, insurer or energy provider.
Projects span:
Behaviour change & communications strategy
Brand equity & brand strategy
Service innovation & evaluation
Cultural trends & thought leadership.
The Role
Lead end-to-end customised research programs (with a quant lean, but qual too)
Own client relationships - asking smart questions, building rapport, challenging thinking
Translate complex data into clear, commercial narratives
Deliver high-impact reports and presentations




Contribute to proposals and help grow accounts
Mentor juniors and elevate thinking across the team
Take commercial responsibility for projects and profitability.
What they're looking for
Strong full-service research agency background
Depth and breadth across methodologies (quant essential; qual capability valued)
Experience across social and commercial work (or genuine enthusiasm for both)
Confidence leading client conversations and building trusted partnerships
Ability to move beyond reporting into strategic advisory
Commercial awareness and desire to grow in this space
Energy, curiosity, and a genuine passion for understanding people, behaviour and society.
