• 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.
