Associate Director | Global Consulting Company.

  • £70,000 DOE
We're working on an exciting opportunity with a global consulting company; they are hiring for an Associate Director to join their growing team (UK-based candidate).
  • The Company

    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.

  • The Role

    A high-impact role for a researcher who wants real ownership – working directly with sophisticated asset management and financial services clients, turning complex primary research into strategic insight that shapes decisions. The visibility and variety here is what larger firms rarely offer at this level.

    With direct exposure to senior leadership and client relationships, the path to Director is clear and actively supported – ideal for someone ready to step up without waiting for a seat at the table.

  • The Candidate

    Key attributes of the successful candidate include:

    • Quantitative research expertise – survey and questionnaire design, fieldwork management, and techniques such as Conjoint, Max Diff, Segmentation, and Key-Driver Analysis
    • Financial services background – a good understanding of B2B client dynamics and the strategic questions that matter in this space
    • Strong communication skills — able to hold their own in client interactions, answer questions directly, and present findings with confidence and clarity
    • Commercial mindset – a willingness to take on revenue responsibilities and grow into a client-facing, commercially accountable role over time

                      • £40,000
                      Are you an SRE — or nearly there — who's ready for a role where you can actually make your mark? Not just execute. Think. Contribute. Be heard. This is a genuine opportunity to join a well-respected insights agency at an exciting moment. New leadership. A fresh sense of direction. And a team that needs someone with energy, ambition, and real research instincts.
                      • 🏢 About the Client

                        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.

                         
                      • 📋 The Day-to-Day

                        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
                         
                      • ✅ The Ideal Candidate

                        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.

                         
                      • 💡 Why Join?

                        • A genuine step-up role with a path toward Research Manager
                        • Work on high-profile accounts across tech, consumer, and finance
                        • Hybrid working from a great location in central London
                        • A supportive team at a moment of real positive change
