This one's for the quantitative researchers who got into research to make a difference and still want to. Think cancer screening, vaping, alcohol, gambling, mental health and healthy eating. This is research that helps keep Australians well , and you'll see it in everyday life: in the campaigns on your commute, the health services people choose and the policies that protect the next generation. I'm partnering with a well-respected, independent social and government research agency to find a Senior Research Consultant (Quant) for their Public Health team in Melbourne. It's a small, growing quant team with a strong pipeline and a mixed-methods partnership with an established qual team. This is a genuine step up. You'll become the go-to client lead on a portfolio of existing accounts, freeing the team lead to go and win new work. Clients want safe hands . That's you. The work It's an exciting mix of tracking research and ad hoc projects for state and federal government departments and health promotion not-for-profits . Around 90% of the work is in public health , with the rest across other areas of social policy. Specialist, but never repetitive. Public health is far too broad for that. You could be working on: Campaign research , from early concept and message testing through to campaign evaluation Population health surveys , from repeated snapshots to longitudinal studies , with results that feed directly into health policy and funding decisions Segmentation projects, usually mixed methods with the qual team Brand work for health charities and government health brands, covering positioning, strategy and tracking Testing products,



resources and materials before they launch Research that shapes health policy and programs , along with measuring public opinion on health issues What you'll do Be the trusted point of contact for a portfolio of small to medium accounts, looking after them and finding ways to grow them Take a client's objectives and turn them into smart research design , from questionnaire design right through to analysis and reporting Get properly into the data, handling data management and analysis in Q or SPSS Lead reports to near client-ready, pulling the numbers into a clear, compelling story Write proposals and tenders for small to medium projects Mentor and manage a Research Consultant , helping them build their skills and confidence Brief and manage panel, CATI and fieldwork suppliers Work closely with the qual team and other teams across the business What you'll bring 5 to 7 years' quantitative research experience in a market research agency or social research consultancy Social and/or government research experience is strongly preferred. Public health is a bonus, not a must Robust client management and project management skills, and the confidence to work independently Real comfort in a dataset, plus reporting that tells a story, not just a set of charts A healthy interest in business development . No one expects you to bring in new work on day one,



but curiosity about it will set you apart Good judgement around data security and AI Bonus points if you're driven by impact . People who are tend to thrive here Why this one An agency known for investing in its people . People stay a long time Visible, hands-on owners and directors who share what they know freely Independent and Australian-owned , so it's nimble with no corporate parent to answer to Direct mentoring from your team lead in BD and strategic thinking A new team with room to grow , and you'd be a big part of shaping it A collegiate, supportive culture where people genuinely work together An attractive bonus and benefits package Because of the nature of the government work, you'll need to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident .
