Quant brain, qual curiosity.

Join an established national insights consultancy with a reputation for thoughtful, 100% custom work. Nothing comes off the shelf. Every project starts with a real question and gets the toolkit it actually needs. The work spans brand, communications, behaviour and customer experience, often for organisations whose decisions reach a lot of people. Variety is normal here, and complexity is part of the appeal.

This is a business built for where research is heading. Close-knit team, best-in-class tech, rich data and specialist expertise on tap, and their best work doesn’t sit neatly in one methodology. The majority of projects are multi-stage, mixed methodology: robust quant with time in the field with real people. They need someone who’s comfortable with both and can turn them into one clear story.

Quant needs to be solid. Hands-on qual is a big plus. If you’re quant-heavy with some qual exposure, they’ll happily talk too.

The role

- Run projects end to end: Handle scoping, timelines, budgets and delivery across several projects at once.
- Design it properly: Write questionnaires and discussion guides that actually answer the brief.
- Find the story: Turn analysis into clear recommendations and present them to clients.
- Build relationships: Be a trusted day-to-day contact for clients and contribute to proposals.
- Support the team: Guide junior researchers, with line management on the table if that appeals.

What you’ll bring

- 4+ years of agency-side market research experience.
- Strong quant skills across design, analysis and insight.
- Ideally some hands-on qual experience,



or a real desire to dive in.
- Confidence with clients and with juggling multiple projects.
- A collaborative style. They want someone who brings people together and connects the senior team with the juniors.

Why this one?

- Use your whole toolkit: You’ll do quant and qual, not one or the other.
- Real variety: Projects you’ll want to talk about outside the office.
- Room to grow: Early people leadership and a clear path to Account Director.
- Responsible resources: Data and tech behind the work.
- Hybrid working in Melbourne.
