Senior Research Consultant - Behaviour Change & Communication Insights

Job description

How does marketing actually change behaviour, perceptions, and culture?
This national insights agency is deeply curious about exactly that - and they’re growing a team that blends rigorous quantitative science with smart, creative thinking. You’ll work at the intersection of brand, advertising, and public impact, helping shape and evaluate campaigns that genuinely move the needle.

With a strong focus on social and government clients (including close ties to Federal Government), you’ll also enjoy exposure to commercial brands — giving you variety, stretch, and balance in your work.

The Role:
You’ll support a highly experienced senior team delivering brand equity tracking, campaign evaluation, and strategic ad hoc research. This is a hands-on role suited to a technically capable researcher who enjoys precision, problem-solving, and turning data into clear, compelling stories.
Projects span multiple government departments and social issues, alongside punchy commercial briefs — meaning no two days look the same.
  
What you’ll be doing

  • Managing quantitative research projects end-to-end (tracking & ad hoc)

  • Designing surveys aligned to strategic objectives and client needs

  • Overseeing data collection to ensure quality, accuracy, and timelines

  • Analysing data and crafting insight-led, narrative-driven reports

  • Responding to client queries and building trusted working relationships

  • Developing your profile as a specialist in brand, behaviour, advertising & communications research

 What we’re looking for

  • Experience in a market or social research agency

  • Strong grounding in quantitative methodologies – ad hoc and tracking

  • Confident data analysis skills (SPSS/Q) and report writing

  • Interest or experience in brand equity, advertising or campaign evaluation

  • High attention to detail with the ability to juggle timelines and priorities

Why you’ll love it here

  • A respected, established research agency brand

  • Backed by an eminent Marketing & Communications group rife with internal opportunity

  • Smart, supportive senior leaders invested in your development

  • Progressive, innovative research practices

  • Work180 Employer of Choice with flexible working
