Looking to build your career in shopper, category, and retail analytics with a business that’s genuinely pushing the boundaries of data and insight?
This is an opportunity to join a globally recognised insights and analytics consultancy helping some of Australia’s biggest FMCG brands and retailers better understand their customers and act on it.
Blending advanced analytics, proprietary data, and AI-driven tools, this business goes far beyond traditional research to deliver a complete view of shopper behaviour across the entire path to purchase.
The Role
You’ll be part of a high-performing team working at the cutting edge of retail and FMCG insights.
From day one, you’ll be hands-on with rich datasets, combining POS, shopper panel, and client data, to uncover meaningful patterns, answer commercial questions, and support strategic decision-making.
You’ll play a key role in helping clients translate complex data into clear actions. Whether that’s refining pricing strategies, optimising promotions, or strengthening category performance.
What You’ll Be Doing
Analyse large, complex datasets to uncover trends in shopper and category behaviour
Deliver clear, insight-led recommendations that support client growth and performance
Work closely with retail and FMCG clients to understand challenges and shape solutions
Support the delivery of high-quality reporting, analytics, and consulting outputs
Build strong relationships with stakeholders and become a trusted go-to for insight
Contribute to projects spanning pricing, promotions, assortment, and shopper engagement
What We’re Looking For
2-4 years’ experience in market research, shopper insights, or category/retail analytics
Experience working with FMCG, grocery, or retail clients
Exposure to datasets such as POS/SCAN, shopper panel, or loyalty data
Strong numerical and analytical skills - comfortable working with large datasets
Ability to turn data into a clear story with commercial relevance
Confident communicator who enjoys working closely with clients and teams
Why Join?
Work with some of the most comprehensive retail and shopper datasets in the market
Be part of a collaborative, high-calibre team known for developing top talent
Learn from industry experts across insights, analytics, and consulting
Excellent benefits, including generous leave and ongoing development investment
Hybrid working and a genuinely supportive culture
