This role would suit someone with 1–3 years’ experience in research or analyst roles, particularly within:

Market intelligence
Desk research
Economic or labour market research
Policy or public sector research
Research analyst roles
Unlike many research roles, the work produced here has real-world impact — reports are regularly relied upon in employment tribunals, High Court cases and major public inquiries.

Your responsibilities will include:

Conducting labour market and salary research using a range of public and proprietary sources
Analysing salary surveys, pay scales and employment data across different occupations and sectors
Producing structured research notes, tables and written analysis for inclusion in expert reports
Identifying and validating reliable sources and statistics relevant to specific cases
Supporting research used in employment tribunal cases and wider legal proceedings
Conducting primary research, including questionnaires or contacting organisations for information
Using Excel to analyse and present salary and employment data clearly
Contributing to the development and maintenance of the organisation’s research library
The role combines analytical desk research, data interpretation and structured written reporting.

This role would suit someone who enjoys structured research and evidence-based analysis.

Ideal candidates will have:

1–3 years’ experience in a research or analyst role
Strong desk research and information gathering skills
The ability to analyse data and draw logical conclusions
Excellent written communication skills
High levels of attention to detail and accuracy
Confidence using Excel to analyse and present data
Interest in labour markets, employment trends or economic research
Experience with salary benchmarking, labour market data, policy research or economic datasets would be beneficial but is not essential.

Research that directly influences legal decisions
Exposure to employment law, labour markets and economic analysis
Work on high-profile cases and major public inquiries
Join a small, intellectually rigorous research team
Develop deep expertise in labour market and salary analysis
Location
