This is a role for someone who can confidently operate at a senior level. You’ll be owning relationships, shaping methodologies, and translating complex data into clear commercial direction.

The Role: What you’ll be doing

• Take ownership of end-to-end quantitative projects, from scoping through to final presentation
• Partner with senior stakeholders, guiding briefs, aligning expectations and advising on approach
• Design strong questionnaires and measurement frameworks that are fit-for-purpose and respondent-friendly
• Lead sampling and fieldwork governance, with clear quality standards and active monitoring
• Drive analysis, interpretation and insight development (Displayr highly regarded)
• Deliver executive-ready outputs with clear narratives, recommendations and commercial relevance
• Identify opportunities to extend engagements into tracking, evaluation and ongoing programs
• Coach and uplift junior researchers through feedback, structure and repeatable best practice
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of productised research offerings and scalable reporting

• Experience with Q and/or Displayr (highly desirable)
• A practical, solutions-focused approach. You are calm under pressure and delivery-driven
• Proven ability to mentor and guide others while still being hands-on

Why apply?
This is a rare opportunity to step into an Associate Director role with real autonomy where you’ll be leading important client work, strengthening delivery excellence, and helping build the next generation of scalable quantitative research offerings.
