Why Join?
You’ll be trusted to do what many analytics roles promise but rarely deliver: own the thinking, not just the outputs. This is a role for someone who enjoys curiosity over templates, experimentation over black boxes, and collaboration over working in isolation. You’ll work on genuinely bespoke projects, have the freedom to try new approaches (including AI and unstructured data), and see your analysis directly influence real decisions.

The Company
The client is a strategy, innovation and design consultancy where consultancy is the heartbeat of the business. Data and analytics are central to how they help clients navigate complex challenges and make confident choices. With a small, highly capable analytics team embedded into consulting work, this is an environment where technical excellence, clear communication and practical impact matter more than shiny buzzwords. You’ll also work across two closely linked consultancies, giving you variety and exposure without corporate sprawl.

The Ideal Candidate
You’ll have 3–5 years’ experience in analytics or research within a consulting-style environment. You enjoy problem-solving from first principles, not delivering off-the-shelf solutions. You’re confident with R, comfortable with data, and genuinely curious about analytics, data science and AI. Most importantly, you like explaining the “so what” and working closely with others to make insights land.
