Behavioural Insights Strategist

Job description

This role will stretch your left and right brain thinking, blending logic with creativity.

Independently owned, values-driven and exceptionally innovative, this Strategic Insights Consultancy is at the forefront of qualitative research, cultural insights, and behaviour change.

For over a decade, they’ve partnered with socially aligned commercial brands, charities, NGOs, and government departments for over a decade to tackle their most complex real-world problems.

Their expertise lies in their ability to uncover the intricacies of human behaviour and understand the subconscious influences that nudge decision-making. They draw upon multidisciplinary thinking - qualitative research, tech-enabled AI, cultural insights, social media listening, behavioural economics, eye-tracking, contextual observations, strategy, branding and anthropology.

The role: Strategist

As the Melbourne division of the consultancy continues to grow – they’re excited to welcome a strategic thinker who can integrate behavioural science, market research and creativity to join them.
You’ll have the opportunity to work across many areas – communications planning, brand positioning, cultural insights, trends forecasting, customer journey mapping, innovation, new product design, segmentation, U&A and behavioural nudging. Bespoke, brief-led, no two projects will be the same. One month could see you designing interventions that aim to convert one-off charity donations to regular giving, re-conceptualising the future needs of Australian housing, investigating Gen-Zs relationship to online dating, joining the dots between fashion and female empowerment, or developing behavioural nudges/ interventions that help teens stay safe online.

Working in deep collaboration and partnership with clients, strategists are involved in all aspects of the consulting process, from pitch to final presentation:
  • Facilitating client conversations and diagnosing briefs
  • Project management
  • Designing and mapping methodologies and BSCI frameworks
  • Facilitating fieldwork – IDIs, workshops, observations, workshops, co-creation sessions
  • Triangulate, synthesise and interpret data.
  • Design and apply evidence-based interventions and behavioural nudges.
  • Report writing, presenting, and bringing insights to life through strategic storytelling and data visualisation. 
We’re looking to speak to individuals that have:
  • Proven commercial experience in behavioural economics, cultural insights, market research and strategy.
  • A multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving combining quantitative and qualitative and a desire to use new tools, tech and thinking.
  • Experience with quantitative survey design, analysis, facilitating workshops, in-depth interviews, focus groups, online communities, ethnography, and observations.
  • An understanding of behavioural tools – nudging, social forms, framing, heuristics, RCTs, scarcity, unconscious biases, rational choice, etc.
  • Empathy, curiosity and have their finger firmly on the pulse of trends, world events and pop culture
They’re committed to a positive, flexible and family-friendly workplace offering progressive benefits such as:
  • Generous paid parental leave + 5 additional annual leave days
  • Health & wellness programs
  • Fun socials from pub lunches to charity days and birthday celebrations
  • Amazing training and development from 1:1 mentoring to external industry conferences.
  • A hybrid working culture is split between home and office, with the flexibility to tailor your week around important life priorities.
