This is a rare opportunity to join one of Australasia’s leading marketing communications groups, sitting within a specialist insights team known for high-impact, fully bespoke research - no templates, no shortcuts.
  
Why this role stands out

• Blend of social impact and commercial research – meaningful and strategic work

• Endless variety – branding, innovation, CX, comms, evaluation
• 100% customised projects – no cookie-cutter deliverables
• Access to a leading cultural trends platform to elevate insight and storytelling
• Supportive, low-turnover team where people genuinely stay and grow

What you’ll be doing

• Lead and support end-to-end research projects from design through to delivery
• Partner with clients and identify opportunities to add value
• Turn complex data into clear, compelling insights and stories
• Integrate brand, marketing, and cultural thinking into outputs

What you’ll bring

• Experience in a research agency environment (social and/or commercial)
• Strong grounding in qualitative, quantitative, or both, with a desire to expand
• Ability to analyse, synthesise, and communicate insights clearly
• Natural curiosity about human behaviour, culture, and trends
