Research Manager - Social & Commercial Insights

Job description

Looking for a role where you can flex your research muscles across both social impact and commercial projects? This one gives you the best of both worlds.
You’d be joining Australasia’s largest and most respected marketing communications group, working in a specialist insights team that’s all about smart, high-impact, and fully customised research.

Why it’s worth a closer look:
  • Work across a fascinating blend of social and commercial projects
  • Exposure to both qual and quant (and the chance to upskill if you’re stronger in one)
  • Topics that keep you curious: branding, innovation, CX, evaluation, comms
  • No cookie-cutters here – everything is 100% bespoke
  • Access to a leading cultural trends monitor that helps you bring an extra layer of depth
This role is perfect if you love variety and want to stretch your thinking across different industries, methodologies, and client challenges. The environment is supportive, creative, and agile – with a great leadership team and an impressive record of people sticking around for the long term.

The role in a nutshell:
  • Help design and deliver end-to-end research projects
  • Build relationships with clients and spot opportunities to add value
  • Bring data to life through analysis, storytelling, and sharp deliverables
  • Start weaving brand, marketing, and cultural insights into your recommendations
What you’ll bring:
  • Previous research agency experience (social, commercial, or both)
  • A genuine curiosity about people, behaviour, and cultural trends
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate insights with flair
  • A degree in a relevant field
  • Experience in qual and quant (or the willingness to broaden your skills)
