        A leading insights and research consultancy is seeking a senior leader to shape and grow its Financial Services practice within a well-established Brands division.
        • The opportunity

          This role combines sector strategy, commercial accountability and research leadership. It’s an opportunity for an experienced FS research leader ready to step into broader vertical ownership — with real influence over growth, positioning and team direction.

          The Opportunity

          Financial Services is a priority sector with strong existing foundations across brand tracking, ad hoc research and tech-enabled solutions. The business is evolving towards a more tech-first, insight-driven model, creating genuine scope to redefine and scale the FS proposition.

          You will:

          • Shape and execute the UK FS growth strategy (with EMEA ambition)

          • Take ownership of a significant revenue target

          • Lead and develop senior Research Directors and team members

          • Drive growth across tracking, ad hoc and product-led solutions

          • Build and deepen C-suite relationships across banking, insurance and wealth

          • Senior-level experience in Financial Services research

          • Strong quant background (tracking + ad hoc) ideally B2B

          • Commercially minded, with experience contributing to or owning revenue

          • Comfortable leading senior clients and high-performing teams

          • Interested in shaping sector strategy, not just delivering projects

          • Open to innovation and tech-enabled insight approaches

          This is not purely a delivery role. It’s designed for someone ready to take a more strategic, commercially accountable leadership position within Financial Services research.
