The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to lead and scale a high-performing, award-winning strategic insights and experience agency as it enters a new phase of growth in Australia.
Backed by a global, fully integrated marketing services ecosystem, this role offers genuine influence, strong commercial mandate, and access to best-in-class technology, talent and infrastructure from day one. The platform is established, the opportunity pipeline is rich - what’s needed now is a leader who can build momentum, convert opportunity into revenue, and shape the future of the capability locally.
You’ll sit at the intersection of insights, technology, analytics and marketing, operating as both a strategic leader and commercial driver. The agency is known for its end-to-end experience measurement capability - spanning brand, customer, employee and product - and for delivering commercially impactful solutions for some of the region’s smartest brands.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Leading and scaling the local capability - setting vision, direction and commercial ambition
• Acting as a senior representative within a broader marketing ecosystem, positioning the insights offer as a centre of excellence
• Building traction quickly: converting strong inbound and networked opportunity into sustainable revenue
• Driving end-to-end insights solutions (brand, CX, customer, employee, product, comms)
• Developing deep, trusted relationships with senior clients - comfortably operating at CMO and CEO level
• Working closely with peer leaders across complementary disciplines to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions
• Strengthening internal culture, collaboration and capability - a leader people want to follow
• Shaping and scaling new advisory, tech-enabled and analytics-led offerings alongside an already strong core proposition

The Kind of Leader We’re Looking For
This is a classic T-shaped MD role - broad strategic leadership underpinned by depth in consumer research.
You’ll likely come from a strong background in insights, data, analytics, with the ability to confidently span the wider marketing ecosystem.
You will bring:

• Dedicated experience in consumer market research - agency-side essential
• A strong commercial engine - proven revenue generation and growth leadership
• Comfort moving between tech & analytics conversations and brand, research and marketing strategy
• A well-developed industry network and the confidence to activate it
• A self-starter mentality - comfortable building, shaping and accelerating momentum
• Experience delivering end-to-end advisory and tech-enabled solutions
