• Own the creative standard for a respected, growing consultancy
• Work closely with senior strategists on high-stakes client work
• Genuine influence on how the business presents itself — internally and externally

Our client is an insight and strategy consultancy working with some of the world’s leading brands across FMCG, retail, financial services, and technology. They’re entering a new phase of growth — and they need their creative output to match the quality of their thinking.

• Designing and elevating pitch decks, proposals, and credentials materials
• Turning complex data and strategy into clear, compelling visual narratives
• Supporting the BD team with campaign assets and presentation templates
• Contributing creative perspective to client projects and strategic deliverables
• Using AI tools to work smarter and move faster without losing quality

You’ve worked in an agency or consultancy. You know your way around PowerPoint, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite. You take pride in making things look right — but you also understand why things need to land.

You’re self-sufficient. You don’t need a creative director looking over your shoulder. And you get a quiet satisfaction from knowing your deck was the one that won the room.

This pioneering organisation has built an advanced enterprise AI platform delivering predictive analytics and AI-powered decision intelligence.

Their digital AI agents provide always-on, intelligent insights — supporting leading clients across financial services, retail, FMCG, pharma, and beyond to enhance performance and efficiency.

As Lead Data Scientist, you’ll lead the delivery of Agentic AI solutions post-sale, owning client projects from design through to deployment. This is a hands-on role combining strong technical depth with delivery leadership and stakeholder management.

You’ll implement AI and agentic systems across enterprise clients, designing scalable architectures using LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows, while working closely with engineering and product teams to ensure successful outcomes.

Key attributes of the suitable Lead Data Scientist include:

• Technical Data Science Expertise – Strong background delivering production-grade solutions, ideally within consulting or product-led environments
• Agentic AI & Modern AI Systems Experience – Hands-on exposure to LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic frameworks
• Delivery Leadership & Client Ownership – Comfortable leading teams while remaining technically involved and managing client relationships post-sale

Operating internationally, the company provides research and insights services that help businesses make better data-driven decisions.

They specialise in market intelligence, competitor analysis, and sector-specific research across industries such as Finance, Asset Management, Private Equity, Tech, Management Consulting & Luxury Retail.

This high-impact role combines strategic client advisory, advanced quantitative research, and team leadership across multiple sectors. If you’re driven by data, insight, and commercial outcomes – and want to shape strategies that matter – this is your chance to step into a pivotal leadership position with global reach

Key attributes of the successful Research Director include:

• Deep expertise in quantitative research methods – Conjoint, Max Diff, Segmentations, Regression, Key-Driver, etc., with a track record of selling this project to clients
• Strong commercial mindset with a history of hitting revenue targets, or a willingness to have revenue targets
• Proven leadership within a market research/analytics setting, with experience working across multiple sectors (ideally Financial Services or Tech)
• Experience of working with B2B Clients, or exposure to working on some B2B projects (nice to have)

Our client is an established insights and research agency working with major brands across tech, finance, and consumer goods. They’re known for primary research that goes beyond the data — storytelling, narrative, and outputs that actually land with clients.

Following a period of change, they’re in a positive reset. A new CEO has joined with a clear focus on culture and momentum. The team is lean, collaborative, and ready to grow.

You’ll be embedded across a mix of accounts — contributing to research design, analysis, and final storytelling. From day one, you’ll get real exposure:

• Supporting qual and quant projects across major client accounts
• Contributing to analysis and shaping the narrative in outputs
• Acting as a first point of contact with clients earlier than you might elsewhere
• Working closely with senior team members in a relatively flat structure
• Broadening your methodology toolkit as you go

You’re probably an RE ready to step up — or you’ve recently been promoted to SRE and want a role that challenges you properly. 

You’re the kind of person who:

• Has a mixed-methods background (or is actively building one)
• Loves turning insight into a clear, compelling story
• Speaks up in rooms — confidently, not loudly
• Wants to be close to clients early, not hidden behind senior layers
• Is ambitious about growing into more senior responsibility over time

If you’ve been told you’re “sparky”, take that as your signal to apply.

• Work on high-profile accounts across tech, consumer, and finance
