Curious about what makes people tick? Driven to deliver strategic insights that actually shape brand futures? Join a smart, forward-thinking research consultancy where strategy, psychology, and innovation collide.
This Auckland-based strategy and insights company doesn’t just study consumers – they explore, uncover, and challenge assumptions to help brands connect in meaningful ways. They partner with clients across tech, FMCG, services, and lifestyle to tackle commercial and creative brand problems from all angles. Now, they’re on the lookout for a senior-level Strategist – Quant or Qual – to deepen the team’s expertise and lead on impactful client projects.

Here’s a flavour of what you’ll be doing:

• Leading end-to-end research projects that fuel brand growth, innovation, and creative positioning.
• Applying your expertise in either quant or qual to shape methodology, draw out strategic insights, and inspire clients.
• Partnering with big-name clients on everything from UX discovery and brand re-positioning to communications testing and cultural deep dives.
• Contributing to the internal thinking and development of this tight-knit, collaborative team.

Some recent client challenges:

• Mapping the launch path for a new gaming brand entering ANZ
• Rethinking messaging for a natural skincare leader
• Understanding the travel mindsets of domestic and international tourists
• Tracking community engagement for a beloved hospitality brand

You’ll bring 3–5 years of experience in insights, strategy, or research – ideally from a consultancy, agency, or brand-side environment. You’re confident designing bespoke methodologies, drawing insights from data or conversations, and telling compelling stories. If you are a Quantie experience with Q or online communities is a plus. If a Quallie you have a proven track record in moderation – groups, IDIs, ethnos etc. Most importantly, you’re energised by solving client problems, thinking creatively, and making strategy feel human.
Culture-wise, it’s flat-structured, ideas-first, and values individuality. This is a brilliant role for someone looking to step up, take ownership, and do work that gets noticed.
