We focus exclusively on four disciplines: Customer Research & Insight, Strategy & Innovation, Data, Analytics & AI, and Product & Technology — placing mid-to-senior professionals with agencies, consultancies, corporate teams, and venture-backed businesses.

They’re looking for a Director of Client Delivery & Operations to be the final quality gate on everything they deliver — methodology, analysis, and presentation, across custom and subscription work, quant and qual alike. Their client base and project scope are growing in sophistication, including global brand tracking studies and international HNW research programmes, and this role exists to bring the senior technical oversight and delivery leadership needed to match that ambition.

You’ll also play a central role in how the business adopts AI within delivery — genuinely hands-on, not just aware of it — helping capture the efficiency AI and agentic AI can offer while managing the risks with real judgement.

– 12+ years in delivery, market research operations, or consulting operations, ideally within research, insights, analytics, or consulting

– Strong methodological grounding across quant and qual, and genuine confidence overseeing large, complex studies for senior clients

– A background rooted in custom/bespoke research rather than subscription-only work

– Real, hands-on experience with AI and agentic AI tools within a research or data context

– Proven experience leading and developing teams

– Client experience within luxury retail, banking, insurance, hospitality, or luxury-adjacent consumer brands

– An agile, entrepreneurial mindset, and a genuine interest in growing long-term with a scaling business

A competitive, market-benchmarked salary and package, including bonus, pension, and private healthcare. A hybrid working pattern based from a London office, with occasional international travel to collaborate with the wider global team. The opportunity to shape a growing, international consultancy at the leading edge of luxury and consumer intelligence.

Please note: sponsorship is not available for this role — candidates must already have the right to work in the UK.

Be honest. Most of your work probably sat in a folder after the final debrief. That’s not a knock on the work, it’s just how consulting usually goes: you deliver, you leave, and the client’s left to figure out the “now what.”

This role exists to fix that gap.

Our client is a fast-growing strategy and insight consultancy, working with some of the world’s biggest brands. They’re deliberately building something rare in this industry: a function whose whole job is making sure the strategic thinking actually lands, not just gets delivered.

You’ll own a brand new function, sitting underneath everything else the business does.

That means:

• Diagnosing where a client’s organisation is stuck, and deciding what to embed first
• Turning strategy and frameworks into tools, dashboards, workshops and coaching people genuinely use
• Building content (films, training, workshops) that makes the work stick, not just documents it
• Working the whole client org, from the leadership team down to the people using the tools daily
• Shaping what “capability” even means for a consultancy in an AI-driven world

You’ve probably worked both sides of this: consultancy or innovation agency, and client-side too. You’ve felt the frustration of handing over great strategic work and watching it stall. You’ve got real opinions on why that happens, and what actually gets people to change how they work.

You might come from a client-side capability or insight team, or from an innovation consultancy. What matters more than the CV line is this: have you actually driven transformation, or just delivered training? If it’s the latter, this probably isn’t your role.

Our client is a well-established broadcaster with a strong presence across linear TV and a growing non-linear footprint (streaming, AVOD, FAST). Audience data drives real decisions here, not just reports nobody reads.

You’ll own the daily, weekly and monthly reporting that tells the business how channels are performing. You’ll dig into BARB data using Advantage or TechEdge, track the competitive landscape, and work closely with the wider team to answer the questions that come up when someone asks “why did that show do better than expected?” There’s no one to manage, and that’s deliberate. This is a role built for someone who wants to get properly good at the craft first.

Central London office, two days in.

You’ve got at least two years’ research experience at a broadcaster, or you’ve come from an agency and worked closely enough with broadcast clients to understand the world. You know your way around Advantage or TechEdge. You’re comfortable with Excel (there’s a practical test at second stage, so come ready).

You’re not looking for a title bump every six months. You want to build depth, learn from people who’ve been doing this a long time, and know that the room to grow is there when you’re ready for it.

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.

Working as part of a small and highly analytical research team, you will contribute to the production of labour market assessments and employment reports used in legal proceedings.

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

The role is based in Greenwich, London, and candidates should be comfortable working in the office full-time initially.

This is a rare shot at real ownership. You won’t be managing a queue of requests. You’ll be setting the insights agenda for two of the most ambitious categories inside a global fashion business, and the business is genuinely ready to listen.

Our client is a global premium lifestyle brand with a well-regarded, lean CMI function that punches well above its size. They’re mid-transformation, building segmentation and path-to-purchase foundations from the ground up, and looking for someone to help shape what comes next.

You’ll own insight strategy for two global fast-growing categories, working closely with brand, marketing and merchandising teams, and regional CMOs, without a regional CMI team to lean on. Expect to get properly hands-on: briefing agencies, reworking data tables, running your own analysis, and turning all of it into sharp, senior-ready stories. You’ll influence brand positioning and campaign thinking, not just report on it.

You’re commercially minded, hungry, and genuinely energised by a lean, fast-moving environment. You don’t wait to be asked. You spot the gap and go after it. You’re just as comfortable in a data table as you are in a room full of senior stakeholders, and you know how to translate one into the other. Background matters less than mindset here: what counts is curiosity, pace, and the confidence to push back when it’s needed.
