Join one of Australia's standout independent insights consultancies, a national business with a brilliant industry reputation, a seriously smart team and a client list spanning some of the country's biggest brands.
They're known for the kind of research that gets into the guts of a business problem.
Complex questions, clever quant, strategic qual, strategy, commercial thinking and recommendations that clients can actually do something with.
The work is broad, but always strategic.
Think brand, customer, segmentation, innovation, pricing, product, service and experience, often with multiple layers to the problem and plenty of room to challenge the brief, shape the approach and influence what happens next.
The prospect
This is a hire with weight to it.
They're looking for someone with that extra layer of experience, confidence and strategic maturity.
Someone who can step into complex client problems, lead the thinking, bring others with them and operate as a trusted senior pair of hands across both the work and the team.
Alongside
owning sophisticated quant and senior client relationships, you'll be an experienced people manager
.
You'll have direct reports from the outset and be expected to coach, challenge and develop researchers, helping them build both their technical capability and confidence as consultants.
You'll be someone who can:
Take a complex business problem and work out what the client really needs to know
Design smart quantitative approaches across ad hoc and ongoing research
Get underneath the data and turn it into a clear strategic story
Confidently advise senior clients, challenge thinking and influence what happens next
Build strong client relationships, spot opportunities and contribute to proposals and pitches
Lead and develop people, with proven experience managing direct reports and adapting your style to get the best from different personalities
Coach researchers to become stronger thinkers,



storytellers and client consultants
Lead several complex projects at once while keeping an eye on quality and commercials
Bring strong methodological judgement without needing to be the person doing every piece of analysis yourself
You'll already be operating at
senior level
, with a strong grounding in quantitative insights, broad strategic research experience and
a genuine track record of people management, not simply project leadership
.
The role combines senior client counsel, commercial responsibility and hands-on development of the team.
They're independent, ambitious and give people genuine room to think.
There's freedom to shape the research around the problem rather than forcing every brief through the same process, alongside plenty of opportunity to influence the wider business.
There's also
proper investment in development
flexible working
generous performance bonuses
22 days annual leave increasing with tenure
strong parental leave
a culture that genuinely puts thought into how people work and grow
For a strong Quant Researcher loves the strategic end of research, this is a pretty special seat.
Big questions, clever work, brilliant clients and plenty of room to make your mark.
