Job description

"How effective is your campaign, really?"
  
It’s not just about reach or impressions - it’s about whether communications resonate, influence behaviour, and drive results. If you enjoy translating data into insights that guide campaign decisions, testing ideas before launch, and evaluating impact afterwards, this role is for you.
  
The Company
Our client is a high-performing market research consultancy with a global network but a boutique, collaborative feel. They specialise in helping government and commercial organisations understand and optimise their communications, delivering actionable insights.

  • Analyse and interpret results to provide clear, actionable recommendations
  • Help design surveys, trackers, and research tools to measure communications effectiveness
  • Craft compelling client reports and presentations that translate findings into strategy
  • Collaborate with senior team members to deliver integrated solutions across quant, qual, and behavioural projects
  • Support and guide junior researchers, building their skills and confidence
What You’ll Bring
  • 3+ years’ experience in communications research, campaign evaluation, or advertising testing
  • Strong quantitative skills — comfortable designing and analysing surveys, trackers, and dashboards
  • Commercial awareness — you understand how insights inform client strategy and decisions
  • Bonus: Experience in mixed-method research or working alongside creative/marketing teams
What You’ll Love
  • Exposure to high-profile campaigns across Gov/Social and Commercial
  • Collaborative, supportive culture with clear career progression opportunities
  • Hybrid working arrangements and a focus on work-life balance
